Plongée à Daymaniyat Islands — Oman
The nine Daymaniyat Islands are Oman's only nature reserve, where hawksbill turtles nest on pristine beaches and whale sharks visit seasonally. The reefs show impressive hard coral coverage for the Arabian Sea, and the government's strict permit system keeps crowds away. Just 18 km from Muscat's luxury infrastructure.
