Eagle Bay is normally reached by a boat ride from the Mirbat area, so most visitors access it through a local dive operator or resort-linked boat schedule.
Eagle Bay is a relaxed shallow boat dive off Mirbat built around a broad sandy channel edged by coral growth and easy reef structure. It suits divers looking for a calm scenic introduction to Dhofar diving, with simple profiles, reef fish life, and planning windows that are usually easiest outside the khareef season.
