Along the stunning Indian Ocean Coast of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman offers some of the best places to try out Scuba Diving in the whole world, with beautifully warm water and superb undersea worlds to explore, particularly in the North of the country, amongst the fjords that mark out the Straits of Hormuz.
