About Storm’s Wreck
Storm's Wreck is a boat-access Musandam wreck dive in Oman where an old dhow carrying cars hit an island and sank. The wreck and scattered debris create a compact wreck profile with easy-to-reach shallows and local marine life. It is usually planned as a guided boat dive from Khasab, where local water movement and wreck awareness matter more than surf. That makes it a good fit for divers who want an unusual shallow wreck day with simple navigation but real snag and overhead awareness.
