Perfect day trip - Amazing day thanks to Johan and captain Mohammed. They made a fantastic day catering to what we wanted. We were lucky to swim with whale sharks during our surface interval too. The diving was really impressive too even without the best visibility. Equipment was all good.

Wonderful Scuba Diving with Seaoman Diving - Wonderful scuba diving with Seaoman Diving Centre at the Barcelo Mussanah Resort Hotel. The dive centre is part of the Hotel, the boats are in the small marina in front of the Hotel with a locked equipment room on the jetty adjacent to the dive boats. Plenty of rental equipment for scuba divers & snorkellers. We dived but there were regularly snorkellers on the trip which started at 8.30am and returned 1.30-2pm. Seaoman have two dive boats which are covered with twin outboard engines, our boat captains were experienced so were the dive guides. We saw leopard sharks, lots of moray eels, large octopus, cuttlefish, shoals of squid, turtles and all the usual Red Sea type of smaller reef fish. I really liked the large rocks, swim throughs, gullies and lovely soft & hard corals. Dives typically were no more than 25m with a second dive no more than 20m. Mid-April sea temps were a minimum of 25C, maximum of 29C so a full 3mm suit was spot on (if you feel the cold then a thicker rash vest or a full length skin under a 3mm wetsuit would boost warmth). Seaoman Diving provided lots of delicious fruit in between the dives, tea & fresh water. From Barcelo Mussanah Resort Hotel the Islands were a 50-70 minute boat ride. On our last day of scuba diving we were met by a pod of dolphins and the boat stopped so we could enjoy the presence of these wonderful creatures. I thoroughly recommend diving in Oman with Seaoman Diving.

Amazing Dives - We had an amazing experience with the global scuba team! By far the most professional, meticulous, organized and friendly center we have ever encountered. Our dives were truly fantastic and we always felt safe. We (2 people) had a pretty personalized dive - in 2 of our dives we were the only ones with Albadawi, our dive master, who was very friendly, patient and experienced

Sharks, Rays, Turtles - We had two very nice diving days with Badawi at the Dimaniyat Islands - the boat ride was fast and on the second day we even hat the complete boat for ourselves. They prepared all the equipment and helped us every time we needed smth. On the boat they served sandwiches, snacks, water and juices (ice cold) and the dives were great: Badawi knew the area and was very good at spotting big fish like sharks and rays - additionally he showed us a nice cave
