Hayut sits in the Daymaniyat Islands Nature Reserve on Al-Kharaba Island, where boat logistics, reserve rules, and a mixed wall-and-open-ground profile shape the dive.
About Hayut
Hayut is a boat-access dive site on Al-Kharaba Island in the Daymaniyat Islands Nature Reserve. The route mixes a sloping wall with adjacent open ground, so the dive feels like a gradual terrain change rather than a single flat reef. Reserve rules, boat timing, and seasonal sea conditions make local operator planning important, especially outside the calmer months.
