Ras Dillah is a boat-access Musandam dive with rocks, sandy slopes, and wall sections around a coral garden and cave/swim-through. The site suits divers who are comfortable timing the current and moving carefully through the overhead section, while the wider reefscape still leaves room for abundant fish life. It is a classic north-Habalayn Bay site where the main planning job is matching the tide and keeping the dive controlled.
