About Barracuda Ride
Barracuda Ride is a Musandam boat dive about one and a half hours from Khasab harbour, known for a sloping wall, strong current, and big-animal encounters. It is a drift-style site with coral reef and rocky boulders, best handled by experienced divers who are comfortable in open water. Barracuda and hammerhead sightings are the headline, and the site feels remote and serious rather than relaxed.
