Diving Holiday
Sultanate of Oman
May 2015






Day 3
Monday, May 4th


First things first, breakfast! To my surprise you can have an English breakfast here, with bacon. And it tastes great. Then there is the fresh fruit and the dairy products like yogurt, and further more the small sweet snacks. Yummy. After breakfast we return to the room in order to change for diving and go to the dive center.

Here we meet the others and prepare. We board the boat and head of to the South this time. The objective turns out to be a fairly large rock that stands out of the sea at a little distance from the shore. We are at Ras Abo Dawood explains our guide Matteo. The depth is going to be about twenty five to thirty meters and we should keep the wall at our left shoulder.

In the water waiting for the rest to come in looking down to the bottom we spot two small rays swimming by. That is a good start to begin with. So we begin our dive and decent slowly to fifteen meters and follow the wall to the south. There are various kinds soft corals and hard corals.

Everywhere there are fish with beautiful colours swimming around, small and large ones. We also spotted some large moray eels and a Marbled Ray. The second dive was to the north, keeping the wall at the right shoulder.

Having returned to the resort we have shower and meet below in the bar. Having a beer we discuss the day and have a beer and a hamburger. The last item proves to be quite a challenge.

It is a super large burger, almost three times the thickness of the meat paddies back home. Not to mention a large portion of fries to go with that. On top of that the bun in between the paddy is placed is quite heavy.
