Reached by boat from Muscat and usually run as a flexible reef profile; more forgiving than Fahal wall sites, but still affected by seasonal visibility and changing surface conditions.
About Fahal North
Fahal North is a boat-access reef site on the northern side of Fahal Island, where large coral-covered boulders create an easy route that can be kept shallow or extended deeper along the slope. Divers usually visit for dense reef fish life, morays, lionfish, grouper, and the chance of rays moving through the blue off the reef edge.
