Short boat ride from Khasab harbour to a compact coral reef surrounded by sand, with SMB discipline needed on ascent.
About Lost Reef
Lost Reef is a compact coral reef reached by a short boat ride from Khasab harbour, with sand around the reef and a shallow profile that makes the underwater shape easy to read. It is more about boat discipline and a clean ascent than deep-water complexity, so it suits divers who can stay relaxed, carry an SMB, and keep an eye on the surface.
