Boat-accessed Bandar Khayran wall dive near Muscat with rich reef life.
Cave Site is a boat-accessed Bandar Khayran wall dive off Muscat, known for a broad profile that can be dived in more than one way. In calm weather, divers usually work a drift-style route from the outside toward the inside, while choppier days may push the team toward a more sheltered cove for easier entry and exit. The site is prized for biodiversity, with rays, nudibranchs, and frequent moray eels across the wall.

Scuba Diving
This is a big wall dive with multiple route options, but the standard plan is a drift-style scuba dive when conditions are right.
Freediving
The shallow band exists, but the site is still better approached as a boat-dive wall than as a freedive-first stop.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site; the site is built around boat diving and the deeper wall profile.
