Whale Shark season in Oman!

Whale sharks are unquestionably the most powerful fish in the ocean, with the largest reaching 12 meters in length and weighing up to 20 tons. (This implies they’re not just the world’s largest fish, but also the world’s largest vertebrates, with the exception of great whales.) Despite their enormous size, whale sharks are perfectly harmless to humans; they are filter feeders, and sieve small plankton from the water.

Where can I see Whale sharks in Oman

Daymaniyat Islands is one of the best spots in Oman for whale shark snorkeling and diving.

That’s because the gigantic fish congregate in large numbers along Muscats coastline every summer Whaleshark season is between September to November.

The sharks and their pups migrate south to the warmer waters of the southern hemisphere in search of many fish eggs, shrimp, copepods, and other little morsels. During this period, there is a very good chance of an encounter.
