Description
The Liveaboard Oman Explorer (formerly Saman Explorer) operated a few years in Egypt, before. The liveaboard "MV Saman Explorer" operates since 2011 in Oman and travels - depending on the season - the most spectacular dive sites of the Sultanate.
The steel ship provides accommodation for 22 persons and is endued with a saloon, air condition, a sun deck to relax on as well as a spacious diving platform. The crew of 8 to 9 members consists of experienced Egyptian staff, supported by local Omani guides. A European dive instructor, at the beginning a marine biologist, will be on board as expedition leader. The Saman Explorer is operated and managed by Extra Divers Worldwide.
Dive center
The Oman is still a destination of expeditionary character and is a destination for divers with a thirst for adventure and a lot of pioneering spirit.
It is certain that the islands have a habitat population of humpback whales. Look out for this huge giants - with luck you will find it, especially in the south. Untouched reefs, huge groupers, big dolphin schools, tons of moray eels ... let yourself be surprised! And maybe you even will find a new wreck, because supposedly here ships from the fleet of Vasco da Gama have sunk...
In any case, you will be impressed by the unbelievable amount of fish, as well as the fact that in Oman under water everything is a little bigger than anywhere else!
There are 3-4 dives daily (Sunday-Thursday), including night dives.
The maximum depth of the dive site varies between 15 and 30 meters.
As the water temperature might vary between 26 degrees on the surface and 22 below the thermocline we recommend at least a 5mm wetsuit and an extra hood for the diving.
Please note, the minimum required level of certification to dive is Open Water and we strongly recommend having at least the Specialty of Deep Diver.
We also recommend having a minimum of 50 dives for liveaboard trips (for Saman Explorer trips).
