Why we rate this centre

This dive centre in Musandam is around the other side of Zighy Bay, dedicated to proving daily scuba diving trips, as well as PADI diver training, to clients of the Six Senses Luxury Hotel Musandam. If you would like a walk along the beach from Six Senses it will take around 20 minutes, otherwise, the hotel will drop and collect you.

The diving centre uses 2 fast dive boats, with generally no more than 45 minutes to the furthest dive site running North from Zighy Bay. As with all the diving in Oman you can expect huge schools of fish and uncrowded dive sites.

The main focus of this dive centre is to provide a VIP service for the guests of Six Senses. This means private guides and scheduling boat trips around the client's preference as much as possible.
