Musandam boat wall and swim-through dive; use local timing and watch the exposed points if current is building.
About Lima Rock (North)
Lima Rock (North) is a boat-access Musandam island dive with a sloping wall, swim-throughs, and a cavern on the western point. The route suits a tidy loop or out-and-back around the rock, with the best feel in the afternoon when the light lands cleanly on the wall. It is a compact site, so the main planning questions are current at the tips, boat timing, and how far you want to push the outer edge. Expect Musandam reef life on the wall and around the point.
