Great snorkling trip! - Great trip with knowledgable and friendly guide Arif. He showed us where we could see the turtles and sharks. And helped the ones that are not so good swimmers. It feels like swimming in an aquarium. Great fun for the whole family!

Arif is the best - Wonderful diving experience with one of the instructors- Mr.Arif. He’s been well known for his diving knowledge and experience.
Great guidance for people who’s looking to kickstart their open water or advance course.
Highly recommend for this place! Will definitely be back for more!

First Time Snorkeling - It was great! - Anyone considering Ad Dimaniyat Island snorkeling book with Arif at Pearl Diving Centre. Arif really made our experience as first timers great. Kept us informed throughout, provided snacks & sandwiches as well as filming videos on his GoPro. He swam with us and we saw loads of different turtles and fish. Highly recommend!

Amazing opportunity to swim with turtles! - My 6-year old and I traveled to Oman and I wanted to do something fun with him so I booked this trip to the island. What an incredible experience to swim with so many turtles! The staff was super friendly. I strongly recommend this tour. PS: I was worried about not finding transportation back to the hotel from the port and I booked a round trip. But there were many taxis waiting for tourists at the end of the tour. Just negotiate the price with one of them. It will be cheaper than pre booking a round trip. Have fun!

Fantastic Tour! - Hands down the best boat trip/tour I’ve taken in the sea!
The hospitality and kindness of the staff onboard (the driver and the guide) is top!
We took off exactly at the given time and went in full speed to the islands,
We did snorkeling in two spots (one with amazing fish and corals and one for turtles)
During our short break onboard we were offered snacks and juice which was very refreshing and nice!
Highly highly recommended!
Thank you so much Behnaz and Papou!

Superb diving and very beautiful place - Very nice dive... finally. After 2 days of waiting, the wind died down and we headed to the Daymaniyat islands with Arif's team. 2 superb dives between 8:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. with a child, including a snack. We saw impressive moray eels measuring over 2 m, turtles, lion fish, squid, corals, etc... Top organization.

Unbelievable ❤️ - We went on a snorkeling tour to the Dimaiyat Islands today. The provider provided a complete snorkeling set including fins. Everything was in great condition. Not worn out, as you would expect from other providers.
We went to two snorkeling spots and were able to see numerous fish, corals and turtles 🥰.
Between the two spots there were delicious sandwiches, fruit, snacks and drinks.
The guides and our boat driver were all very helpful and we felt in good hands at all times.
We would book this tour again at any time 💖

Turtles fantastic, tour itself marginal - The experience with the turtles was out of this world, we saw so many , but that was luck on our part and being experienced snorkelers and good in the water, others on our tour didn’t see much.
The boat tour- the place is hard to find and expensive to get to by taxi ( choose a tour with pickup if you can) we arrived early and got told a plane was delayed and the tour would start 1.5 hours later, but were offered to go to the island with the setup crew and get an extra hour snorkeling in, that was much appreciated.
When the tour eventually arrived the boat seemed a little overloaded and for the amount of different skill levels on the tour everything from experienced divers to first time divers, children, snorkelers with and without experience there was a lack of guides and guidance, the guides did their best but were busy with the divers.
There was no safety briefing at all , no snorkeling instructions for the inexperienced ones and other than pointing at the bay and saying it’s good for turtles, you had to know where to go to get the outstanding wildlife experience we encountered
