About Coral Alley
Coral Alley is a small bay near Khasab with sandy-beach access and large coral pinnacles packed with fish.

Scuba Diving
Stay close to the pinnacles and build your route around the bay exit, because the structure and corner current are the whole game.
Freediving
Possible only as a calm, shallow look around; the boat ride and corner current make it a poor primary freedive target.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work in the sheltered bay on calm days, but the corner current narrows the relaxed surface window.
