I'm taking a break from diving to enjoy a brief visit from my granddaughter this weekend, except that I've been diving into Facebook and came on this ...
In case you can't read it, my comment says: "I lived and dived in Oman ten years 1985-1995 and I live in UAE now partly so as to live just over the Oman border. I've encountered all the animals shown in this video numerous times."
Here's the video that shows the animals we've encountered in Oman and in the UAE in the many years we've dived in both places:
To embed the video, Blogger asks you to input its title and it will search YouTube for it. The search on the title of this video "Oman Diving, Scuba Diving - Ministry of Oman Tourism" got half a dozen hits. One was on a film uploaded by the Oman Tourism authority on Dec 27, 2011 with this commentary:
"Many thanks to Khaled Sultani for sharing this video with us. The video is, to a certain extent, the 'best of' Dimaniyat Islands. It's an accumulation of around 4 awesome weekends of diving in this location in Oman, over the past few years. Sadly the visibility isn't always great but it's tough to beat when it comes to richness in Marine life."
Sadly, it's true what they say about the visibility. We had the honor and pleasure of diving with Khaled and his team of video photographers in the Damaniyites last September, on a weekend when the visibility was on 'sadly' status. Still we got in some great diving. My blog posting for that weekend features a YouTube embed that Khalid took on one of our dives. Check it out:
