Dhow trip 4th May

We're back from a dhow trip to Limah Rock on the Mussandam peninsula last Friday. The trip was exceptional. Two dhows meant that there was actually some space to move about on the deck, and the long slow trip was very comfortable because the sea was dead flat.

Visibility was an excellent 15m plus, and the sea temperature was between 25C and 27C. It's nearly time to eschew the wetsuit for another year. Or possibly not: the nasty brown stingy strings of jellyfish are still around. At least with no current and good viz, the jellyfish are easily visible and can largely be avoided.

Turtles and stingrays were available to be spotted at both Limah Rock and at Fish Head Rock, the site of the second dive.

The one-day dhow trip is always going to be a very long day, with a 90-minute drive from Dubai and a three-hour boat trip at each end of an all too brief dip in the sea.

Thanks to Marian for organising, and to the Glabrous Diver for assisting.
