Saturday Afternoon in Muscat

Did two dives today off the coast of Muscat, in the Arabian Sea. The other three divers were wow'd - said it was really great. I guess I really am spoiled, because it just wasn't!

It was OK, but only just that. Viz was maybe 20 feet, and temp was Chilly in my shorty wetsuit. Colder than in Bonaire. I was looking for warmer water, and much better viz, and much more stuff to see.

There were some big eels, and a nice wreck - but if I'd paid RT airfare to get to Oman to dive, I'm afraid I'd be disappointed. I can count at least 5 places I've been much closer to home that are better.

Maybe tomorrow I'll feel differently when I try again.
