Oman Liveaboard
9 days London to London
The Musandam Peninsula has unspoilt dive sites teaming with marine life. Almost all of its diving is well within 30 metres and is suitable for all divers of all levels. Now you can experience this sensational diving from a traditional dhow-style liveaboard that takes a maximum of 12 divers. After the first night in a hotel in Dubai, you will board a seemingly traditional-style Arab dhow, which will be your home for the next seven days. However, this dhow has some very untraditional features as it is especially designed for the modern-day divers' needs. It has 4 twin-berth cabins and one 4 berth cabin, air-conditioning, a comfortable saloon, inside and outside galleys, a compressor, and a fully equipped diving equipment room, a diving platform, bar, video and sound system. Join the liveaboard for a week, and then why not add some time shopping in Dubai or explore some of the beautiful desert landscape.- Day 1. Dubai
