Dive-site story
Located along the rugged coastline of the Musandam peninsula, Eagle Bay features a sheltered inlet where rocky headlands give way to a sloping reef and sandy floor. Hard coral formations and scattered boulders create natural nurseries for small reef species, while pelagics periodically sweep past the outer edges of the bay. The site offers relatively calm water protected from the open Strait of Hormuz swells.
Frequent encounters with spotted eagle rays gliding over the sandy bottom
Sheltered topography with healthy hard coral colonies and rocky outcrops
Good mix of macro critters sheltering in rock crevices and open-water visitors
Location
