About the Damaniyat Islands
These nine, tiny, uninhabited islands lie about 17 kilometres off the Batinah coast and are the jewel in the crown for diving in the Gulf of Oman. Marine life is abundant with prolific numbers of colourful reef fish, stingrays, occasional turtles, leopard sharks and on rare occasions a whale shark. the beaches and cliffs come alive in the summer months with nesting birds and turtles returning to lay their eggs on the white sand beaches.
The diving around the Damaniyat Islands is spectacular with walls, drop-offs, submerged reefs, swim-throughs and caves. The Daymaniyat Islands offer a safe stop off point for migratory birds and are home to sea eagles and the graceful osprey;
With the vast variety of sea life and coral close to the surface, snorkelling is also a particularly rewarding experience here. Coral reefs cover up to 70% of the dive sites with more than a hundred different species of soft and hard corals.
When you're on an Aggressor Fleet Oman scuba diving liveaboard trip, you'll discover that the sea is full of fascinating life - whale sharks, humpback whales, sperm whales dolphins, manta rays, sharks, sea turtles, mobula, mola mola, moray eels, angelfish, stingrays, king mackerel, tuna, lobster, crayfish, and nudibranchs.
