What people usually pay
Musandam does not run a single, coastwide marine-park tag system for visiting divers the way some island destinations do. Instead, plan for standard Oman entry costs (visa if required) plus any border or transport fees based on your route. Specific activities (commercial diving operations, research, or filming) may require additional permits through Oman authorities, and some resort-based dive centers only operate for in-house guests.
