This was our third trip to the Oman Dive Centre in six years. It was a week trip based around diving. A great relaxing week as the place was not very busy. We enjoy this because of the location, Secluded, no shops just the resort. 36 beach huts on a private beach, the other side of the beach is for... More

The perfect get away for a long weekend from Dubai, we stayed there as a group of friends . Food is average however the bar & service are great ! Lovely views at night and the out door bathrooms are a big plus !

Well. We read the reviews before staying on 10 May. They are a bit of a mixed bunch. Upon reflection there are two types of reviewer. The ones where visitors go only for the day and have to pay for their food and use only part of the beach. They have to join with the families, local people, maybe smokers... More

I just took a day dive and the service was good. Didn't bring any gears but their selection was complete. My family used the beach and pool facilitites while I was diving. They really enjoyed it. Service was on time, good diving locations. May plan to overnight at the dive center so I can dive more in the future..

I agree with the general tone of recent reviews that the Oman Dive Center experience is certainly not as good as it used to be. The staff (with the exception of a couple, and I really mean 2) of the waiters is universally disinterested, at times rude and generally inept. They can only be so because the management itself is...

As usual, I went for another short trip to relax and dive in Oman Dive Center. By so many visits in the last couple of years, I always found an oasis of relaxion, good food and nice diving. To be honest, this time ( 8 visits since 2007) I was that disappointed and felt treated that bad, so I decided... More

We visited the ODC a few weeks ago, in brief, the location is quite stunning but the restaurant and the cleanliness of the beach let this place down. The standard of food is poor and over priced. I ordered the fish and chips, which I sent back as the it was raw in the middle. The beach was covered in... More

My partner's parents shouted us all a night out at the Oman Dive Centre, so I can't really comment on cost. The location was lovely and the huts quite nice. When we arrived (a couple of hours before checkin), we were told one room was ready but the other wasn't...though they would let us know as soon as it was.... More

In the past I have enjoyed taking friends out to the Dive Center for lunch as the ambience is quite different from anywhere else in Muscat. It is a few miles away from the hustle and bustle of Muscat city, and sits in a little bay surrounded by pastel colored mountains. The view and ambience are special, but that's where... More
