Scuba Diving (Tanks & weights)– Daymaniyat Islands

Enjoy a 35-minute boat trip to the beautiful Daymaniyat Islands, “ Nature Reserve”. The Islands are a sanctuary for birds and turtles to nest their eggs.

Virtually everyone who comes here does so to dive. There are nine low, rocky little islets here, strung out in a line from east to west and clustered in three quite widely separated groups, surrounded by coral reefs.

The islands have been protected as a nature reserve since 1996 and provide an important nesting site for hawksbill and green turtles, as well as a wide range of migratory birds including the increasingly rare sooty falcon, one of the few migratory raptors which actually nests and breeds in the region.

Given their protected status, access to the Daymaniyats is restricted, and you’re not allowed to land on the islands from the beginning of May until the end of October

Daymaniyat Islands, often called the “ Jewel of the Middle East” offers great dive sites for visitors to enjoy.
