Best of Daymaniat - Fahal and Bandar Khayran
The liveaboard “MV Oman Explorer,” operated by Extra Divers, has been in service in Oman since 2011
and visits the Sultanate’s beautiful dive sites. The steel vessel can accommodate 22 people.
A perfect
outdoor area with chairs and a spacious lounge offer you
comfort after diving. The lounge area features a
TV corner for evening briefings and movies. There’s also a library
with fish identification guides and refrigerators stocked with cold drinks.
You can also relax
on the sun deck.
The
Oman Explorer features eleven well-equipped cabins. Six of them
are located on the lower deck.
These cabins have two single beds. The other four twin cabins
are located on the upper deck. A master cabin with a double bed
is located on the main deck. Each cabin features
air conditioning and a private bathroom.
On
board the MY Oman Explorer, you’ll be served three meals a day in
buffet style, along with snacks and fresh
fruit. Alcoholic beverages are not served. Water,
tea, coffee, and juice are available free of charge
in the “refreshment corner.”
Diving
in Oman is a great alternative to the Red Sea. Divers here enjoy
the privilege of usually being alone
at the dive sites. The maximum depth of the dive sites varies
between 15 and 30 meters, and there are no strong currents.
The large number of fish is impressive, as are the
numerous schools of fish attracted by the plankton-rich water
. Many rare moray eels, leopard sharks, stingrays,
colorful nudibranchs, turtles, cuttlefish, and
eagle rays can be spotted during dives. In Oman,
all the underwater creatures are also somewhat larger than elsewhere.
Visibility can vary between 5 and 20 meters due to the nutrient-rich water and
temperature layers, but the abundance of
fish more than makes up for it.
