O-man I love Oman - Part 2 - Diving....well sort of.

Next morning it was up for a cracking breakfast and then off to Al Sawadi for a days diving......well, sort of.

We rocked up at the dive centre and loaded up on the boat and off we went out to the Domaniates. The sea was pretty rough, to say the least, and the boat pretty darn full.



The first chosen dive site, the aquarium, was canceled because the sea was too rough, so we went on to an alternative site that was more sheltered. However, more sheltered didn't mean divable for all and after rolling in with the waves breaking over our heads we did one dive and called it a day. We did see a few sights including a nice big ray (apparently locally called stumpy) and the site of Bob practicing his mating rituals with a cuttle fish. Believe me it isn't something that should be retold.......but Bob respected her in the morning.



Following the dive we headed back to the center, paid up, backed up the Dive Masters who were getting some grief for going with the dive call and then headed back to Chez Gould. Diving done and made plans for tomorrow.....that no longer involved diving.
