Dive-site story
Police Run traces the sheltered leeward side of Police Island in the Daymaniyat Islands archipelago. Divers drift along a gentle coral slope composed of extensive table and branching Acropora formations that give way to sandy patches where rays and sharks often rest. The site delivers classic Gulf of Oman biodiversity, with consistent turtle sightings and schooling pelagic fish cruising in the blue off the reef edge.
Expansive gardens of hard corals sheltering abundant reef fish
Frequent resting leopard sharks and blue-spotted stingrays on the sand floor
Resident hawksbill and green sea turtles feeding along the slope

Seasonality
