About Sannat Bay
Sannat Bay is a shallow Musandam boat site that works well for training dives, relaxed snorkel days, and night dives. The bay has a sandy bottom, gentle relief, and usually little current, so it stays simple to navigate when conditions are calm. Expect small fish schools, turtles, morays, and stingrays on or just above the sand, with local boat traffic to watch on ascent.
