Dive-site story
Situated along the rocky coastline of the northern Musandam Peninsula, Pipi Beach offers a sheltered dive over sloping reefs and sandy patches. Huge limestone boulders break up the seabed, creating overhangs and crevices where macro life and reef dwellers shelter. Divers frequently encounter turtles grazing on algae and schools of rays gliding across the sandy seafloor.
Extensive boulder formations providing shelter for morays and juvenile fish
Frequent encounters with hawksbill and green sea turtles feeding along the reef
Spotted eagle rays and stingrays resting or feeding over the sandy channel
