Scuba diving in Oman: only operators with a confirmed program

About this list

When you look for scuba diving in Oman, the first problem is telling whether an operator actually runs it. This page lists only the 12 operators in Oman on Maptlantis whose structured activity data confirms a scuba diving program. Operators that turned up only because a word in their name or description happened to match are left out. They span Dhofar & Mirbat, Musandam & Khasab, Muscat & Al Mouj, Muscat & Bandar Al Rowdha, Muscat & Seeb and Muscat. 9 of the 12 operators (75%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. Most listings give the season as Nov–Apr. Boats can still be canceled for sea and weather conditions, so check before you book. 8 are listed as open to beginners and 2 as open to children. Operators with structured encounter data list dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, common dolphin, spinner dolphin and risso's dolphin as target species. Ways to meet them: swimming, boat-based watching and snorkeling. 9 operators are backed by an official source or a government registry. Each operator page shows the address, opening hours and source links, and how to contact the operator.
