Khasab speedboat dive over a rugged boulder slope and deeper sections.
Khasab speedboat dive over a rugged boulder slope and deeper sections.
The Boulder Wall is a short speedboat dive from Khasab that follows a rugged slope of large boulders fallen from the mountains. It is a relaxed Musandam boat dive rather than a current-heavy drift, with a shallow start that opens into deeper sections and a profile that can suit both scuba and careful freediving. Calm days are the easiest way to enjoy the site.
