Scuba
The coastline around Mirbat in southern Oman offers a unique diving environment. In the summer, cold upwellings allow for the growth of temperate kelp forests, which then die back in the winter. This creates a unique ecosystem with a mix of tropical and temperate life.
Features
A unique dive area where seasonal upwellings create temperate conditions, allowing for the growth of kelp forests. Divers can see tropical reef fish swimming among the kelp. The area is also excellent for macro life.
