Seahorses!, Nudi Branches, Barracudas, different species of Murray Eeel and huge swarms of fish, Mackerel predominately. Also billions of Blue Triggerfish.

The dive side is positioned conveniently with one side sheltered and one side exposed to the gulf. Current can be strong. I had current 1 out of 3 dives. Plankton rich as Musandam generally is, visibility ranges from mediocre to not so good but that’s to be expected.

On my Al Marsa Musandam Liveaboard trip, this was my favorite dive site.
