Regional Khasab tourism context for sheltered bays and diving suitability.
Sheltered beginner boat dive off Khasab.
Sheltered beginner boat dive off Khasab.
Lost Anchor is a shallow, sheltered boat dive off Khasab on Oman's Musandam coast. It suits beginner divers and relaxed reef exploration when conditions are calm, with an easy profile and generally low current. The site sits in a protected harbour-side setting, so day-of sea state and boat traffic matter more than the terrain itself, and it is best treated as a calm-water boat trip rather than a high-commitment dive.
