Hallaniyat Oman Liveaboard Diving Trip

Hallaniyat Islands Oman Liveaboard

In winter, it is the southern parts that apply to diving with a liveaboard in Oman. Hallaniyat Island's Oman Liveaboard is a nice tour that takes you to an area in the Indian Ocean known for humpback whales, among other things. Around these islands and the southern coast you will also find what is perhaps Oman's most varied diving. There is also a fantastic marine diversity here and a lot of fish. Here you dive along the coast and at the barren islands, the cliffs are dramatic and exciting both above and below the surface.

Whales, dolphins, manta rays and much more

If you are lucky here, you may also see humpback whales here. There is a group of humpback whales here that are more or less permanent residents of this area. It is also a population that is even genetically different from other humpback whales in the world. Here you also usually see large numbers of dolphins who live well on what the rich waters give them here. There is also a wreck to dive on that is teeming with marine life. You can also come across manta rays and mobulas here sometimes. If you're lucky, you can also see the very beautiful and strange twin faced toad fish in fairly shallow water. A species that was discovered as recently as 1994 for the first time. As far as we know, it is completely endemic to Oman. There are otherwise over 1100 different fish species documented in Oman's waters.

There is also a wreck here, the "City of Winchester", a 140 meter long ship that sank during the First World War.

The exact route during your diving trip around the Hallaniyat Islands and the coast of southern Oman with your liveaboard usually changes a little from time to time. The tour is partly dependent on the weather, but also dependent on the experience, interest and wishes of all guests. If the port authorities should issue regulations that diving trips must change route, they must be strictly followed. This may affect the content of the tour somewhat. for those who want an exciting adventure with really varied diving, Hallaniyat Island's Oman Liveaboard is a really good diving safari and diving trip.
