A great way to swim with fish and turtles! - Captain B was great! He checked on everyone throughout the trip and offered snacks and drinks (water and juice). They provided the snorkeling fins and masks. The boat goes very fast over choppy waters (at times). The snorkeling was great! We saw fish of various colors and sizes and a group of turtles! What an amazing experience!

very nice - Excellent experience. It is a must-do when you are in Muscat. Crew and team of global Scuba were professional and excellent. I wish them all the best. Ride to the islands was a little rough and bumpy so make sure you can deal with it. unfortunately, the area is crowded with tourists. It is in deed the fault of people like me. I hope that the tourism vs. economy vs. nature is on the right balance, which appears as of now the case.

No recommendation, loveless tour and dead coral reefs - The coral reefs are practically nonexistent. Much is scrambled-red and the rest grey and dead. You can see some colorful fish and the whole ride is relatively unlovely and uninspired. You hardly get any information but are only let out at two snorkel spots and are then allowed to rest on the beach for 30 min. Then it continues only next bay total only two stops. We were also back an hour earlier than stated. The snacks were cheap cookies and very cardboard toasted bread sandwiches. No recommendation. However, we have seen some Seaturtels living there. However, at least 10 other boats came to the same spot....
