About Seahorse Bay
Seahorse Bay is a shallow sandy bay in Bandar Khayran that works well for courses, intro dives, and relaxed reef sessions. Hard corals near the entrance add color, while seahorses, scribbled pipefish, pufferfish, and other small reef life make it a good site for critter hunting. Boat access from Muscat-area dive centers keeps the planning straightforward.
