Beginner and experienced friendly. I found it to be a great way to try scuba diving for the first time, but there were also many experienced divers on the trip too

Exellent and well organised dive trip with Emmi and her team. Every aspect of the trip felt very safe and equipment was perfect. It is clear that safety in all aspects of the dive is highest priority and Emmi showed us a couple of excellent dive spots with plenty of corals and marine life.
Beautiful corals and fish

The diving area exceeded my expectations. You see so many schools of fish, even large animals like sea turtles and leopard sharks. It’s a rich protected habitat, like a large city but for sea life. My instructor, Aimee, was very helpful and patient. Since I was new to diving, she has helped me go over all the basics of scuba diving safely. Highly recommend it, it was maybe a highlight of my tour in Oman.

Was a great activity to do in Muscat. As two first time divers, we got to do 2 snorkel experiences with turtles and fish which were great to see. The actual scuba was unlike anything I’ve ever done and would definitely recommend. The sights we saw and experiences were one of a kind. Our guides Stephen and Captain Hassan were a great addition and super friendly.
Wonderful Dimaniyat Experience

After some registration confusion, all went well. Mohammed and the South African (sorry, can’t remember his name!) dive masters were helpful, loved what they do, and professional. Very nice dive experience!

Our third sea dive since becoming open water qualified and selected Oman as the place to go nearly March. Was not disappointed. Global Scuba are well run and organised for a busy tour out to Daminyat. We arrived on time for 8am check in and got kitted up. Kit was well used but functional. Worth a careful check before departure for leaks and connectors though. Waited some time for a group of Japanese to arrive so a bit late leaving. Could have enjoyed a longer breakfast! Dive sites are ok. Visibility not great and limited by the least able in the group until they were put back on the boat. Saw turtles and many fish and eels. Second site better visibility and warmer water. Only had a 3mm wet suit so got cold at 12m. Added a bonus stop on a beach on this islands to warm up. Lunch and snacks provided but perhaps keep the sandwiches in a cool box next time? Good team with SA Steve, capt B and Capt Mohammed on board. Jolly good fun and a good dive.
