Arab Divers Tours - Khasab Oman

Arab Divers Tours operates as a specialised division of Aladdin Lamp Tourism, an entity established in 1998. While they are based in Dubai, their primary focus is organising high-end excursions to the Musandam peninsula in Oman, often referred to as the Norway of Arabia.

You will find yourself navigating through dramatic fjords and towering mountains, exploring waters that offer a unique landscape compared to typical reef environments. The centre focuses on intelligent dive planning and maintains a deep respect for the local marine ecosystem.

With over 25 years of experience and more than 2,000 divers trained, the team brings a high level of expertise to every excursion. They operate with an emphasis on small groups to ensure that instruction and guidance remain personalised and safe.

The centre is highly versatile in its training approach, offering certifications through SDI, TDI, PADI, and CMAS. This multi-agency affiliation allows them to cater to a wide range of diver requirements, from entry-level students to professional candidates.

For younger divers, they run the Future Buddies programme, ensuring that the next generation of divers starts with a solid foundation. Their expertise extends to the highest levels of professional training, including Instructor Trainer courses.

The centre provides a comprehensive range of training, covering everything from initial qualifications to professional mastery. You can complete your Open Water Scuba Diver course or progress through Advanced Diver and Rescue Diver levels.

For those looking to move into professional diving, they offer Divemaster and Instructor Trainer programmes. Technical divers can also find specialised training through TDI Technical courses and FRTI Emergency Training.

Excursions to the Musandam fjords are conducted on a traditional dhow. These vessels provide a distinct way to experience the coastline, moving through the narrow channels and mountainous scenery of the region.

On board, you will be provided with a buffet lunch, along with tea and coffee to enjoy between dives. The trips are designed as full-day experiences, including the transfer and the cruise itself.

The waters of the Musandam fjords are home to frequent sightings of dolphins, which add a dynamic element to the diving experience. These pelagics are a regular highlight for those cruising through the fjords.

The marine life is well-distributed around the reef structures and rocky outcrops. You can expect to encounter various species as you explore the different depths of the Musandam coastline.
