Being underwater, weightless in a 3D space surrounded by phenomenal views is a really a spiritual experience for me. I once had a conversation with a turtle. True story. Founder of the DiveAdvisor Project.

I had a great time. I understand where the previous review is coming from. The guys there are a bit relaxed, because I guess they follow an assumption that the divers that come there are more experienced. For example me, I don't like to be helped onboard etc, I prefer to just dive in after brief briefing and be left alone with my buddy :)

I really hate giving any business a bad review, but was really not impressed with the Emperor Voyager. For one, the room really smelt of Diesel. For 2, there were lots of bugs and cockroaches running around. Thirdly, its quite an aged boat and needs some refreshing.

MV Emperor Voyager -
Did my first liveaboard trip with Sheesa beach (2 night trip with 5/6 dives). Very cool experience, liked their boat, liked the food and the setup generally. Will definitely be back the next time. P.s: we only had 6 people and they still ran the trip.

Sheesa Beach Dive Centre -
Oman Dive Center is located in one of the most beautiful lagoons I have seen. The dive centre is big and the boats are well equipped for diving. The diving around the Dive Centre - i.e: within boat rides is also rather decent, often great visibility and lots of marine life.

I had a really great time aboard the MV Leo. The boat is large & comfortable. Brett, the cruise director has an excellent sense of humor despite his severe addiction to mars bars. Would gladly be back.

WAOW as a ship, crew and operation is pretty much as good as it gets. Basically its like a 5 star hotel fused with a liveaboard. Jay & crew are well organized and good vibes on board. Will be back shortly.

Al Boom is a provider of good service consistently. I have gone on quite a lot of their weekend dhow trips to Musandam and they are great fun. There are always plenty of dive guides and a large boat to ensure the diving goes smoothly.

Al Boom Diving -
We were there in off-season so perhaps the review is a little biased but the entire area is over flooded with divers - scares me what its like in peak season. From my observation most of the dive shops make money from open water certifications - I would nut suggest it to experienced divers.

Blacktip Scuba -
Very cool vibe at the shop and Sean is one of the most experienced divers on the planet. Perhaps maybe because we were there in off season we didn't get a chance to see anything spectacular but had a great time exploring Tobago and the pretty dive sites around there. The night dive is really cool as well as a little cave dive we did.

The SMART resorts, especially the water village part is magnificent - one of the most beautiful hotels I've seen in all my travels. Mabul Island is also the most convenient place to live if you want to dive Sipadan Island aswell. Good team and clean run operation.
