Boat pick up - Amazing experience with fahd and yaseen. They were very accommodating and helped us massively. Yaseen helped us with snorkelling as it was our first time leading us from the boat and back. We were warmly welcomed from the outset. They took the time to search for whale sharks and stopped for us to have a look too. They made it a very enjoyable experience.

Sensational visit to Dimaniyat Islands - Thank goodness we chose Dimaniyat Adventures. They were so helpful even organising a taxi to pick us up at our hotel. Yassen ( our guide) is excellent and so keen for us all to have a good time. He takes pride in helping all guests get the most out of the experience. And what an adventure we had. On the way out we found the whale sharks and spent a fabulous time swimming with them. Then onto the second area where we saw lots of turtles and fish too.
The snorkeling gear was good quality which is a big plus. Another thing we really noticed is the care the team takes with the environment- only anchoring in sand and instructing us to stay at a respectful distance to the wild life.

A relaxed tour away from fast city life! Just what I needed! - Excellent experience! Really enjoyed myself. I love how we could take our time to explore. Go between the boat and snorkelling as we liked. There is no rush. Fahad is also very respectful of the environment and animals and this part I loved. We had to swim to the fish while we anchored in a place that didn't damage the corals, while the other tour guides didnt rwally care where they anchored. A very thoughtful tour guide toward the animals and environment and the sea life is definitely his passion!

Amazing day trip swimming with turtles and whale sharks! - We took a day tour to swim with the turtles and we did not know beforehand there would be whale sharks too! So amazing! We had plenty of time to swim with both whale sharks and the turtles. It was a bucketlist ✅ day for sure ☀️🐢

Very good! - Fahad is a really good guide. Of course he cant give any guarantees, but he goes out of his way to give you what you are hoping to see. This time it were the whalesharks. He found them and we had an amazing experience. He also keeps an eye on you to assure everyone is safe.
Yashin, his employee is making beautiful underwater video’s that he happily share with you. Can highly recommend!
