Watersports in Oman

Unleash your adrenaline seeking side, grab your wetsuit, and take to the water to try some of the best watersports in Oman.

In the northwest corner of the Arabian Sea, you will find the beautiful country of Oman.

Nestled between Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, Oman is in the perfect place to capture the waves of the open sea and tidal surfs of the Gulf of Oman.

KITESURFING
If you combine wakeboarding, surfing, windsurfing, and paragliding in just one sport, the result is kitesurfing. Using the power and direction of the wind, enthusiasts will glide across the water on a small kiteboard propelled by an airborne sail or kite.
 

SCUBA DIVING

Pocketed with tantalizing lagoons and shallow bays, Oman is the perfect place to partake in a spot of snorkelling and scuba diving. Diverse marine life and warm temperatures make the region a haven for beginners and experienced divers too.
The best diving months are between April and July when the coral reefs are at their peak, although divers can see some great sights all year round. The multitude of diving locations includes various cliffs, small islands, bays, and caves as well as open water.

WHALE WATCHING
For those who enjoy riding the waves instead of getting among them, hop aboard one of the many whale-watching excursions available to book along the coastline. A wide variety of species, including tropical, blue, humpback, sperm, dwarf, killer, and melon-headed whales, are often seen just off the coast and are a true sight to behold.
