Yesterday we spent a few hours down at the Oman Dive Centre, located about half an hour away from the centre of Muscat between Qantab and Barr Al Jissah. The centre is specifically designed for diving, snorkling, dolphin cruises and the like. We went just to use the beach and restaurant but are definitely going to hire some snorkeling equipment next time we go. The centre is a sited within a cove where the water stays shallow for a long way out. Its full of all sorts of marine life. We even saw a turtle!
There is also a restaurant (The Odyssey Restaurant) and beach side bar and for those wanting to stay longer than a day the centre offers accommodation in the form of
Barasti huts (traditional Omani huts;
Barasti refers to the material they are made from).

The water looks inviting....I would also like to explore the marine life.
