let's go get some turtles
we're going on an epic adventure in daymaniat islands in Oman
I made a separate video of muscat so click
on the link above check that out before you start with this video
good morning I am in al-mouj area and I'm heading to the daymaniat islands so these are
a group of nine islands in the ocean in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Oman and it
takes about an hour to get there from Muscat and it's a great spot to do snorkeling diving
etc or if you want you can even do overnight camping there which is great but I think I'm not
gonna do that because I'm not big into camping and I've done enough that in desert if you come here
in summer there's a really good chance you will see a lot of whale sharks but it's January now
so I'm just happy with you know seeing whatever I can see and yeah let's let's go check it out
it is a beautiful day in January the perfect day for this adventure the water is really
calm and we get to see some beautiful islands on the way as well let's go get some turtles
but it gets better throughout the day and there are a few surprises waiting
here which is incredible it was a beautiful day
and the first snorkel gave a rough idea of how precious this place is
so we got to daymaniat Islands that's the correct name daymaniat not damaniat sorry so we got here and
instantly saw some turtles on the way and then saw two having you know a little bit of morning nookie
and then I got in the water so there's a bit of algae which is not the best for visibility
but still it's great so I got in the water and saw two turtles straight away and lots of life
sadly a lot of the coral has died but that's the reality we live in so don't forget to bring some
coral friendly sunscreen because you don't want more of the coral to die okay so we're gonna I
think go to the island next and then after that we do one more snorkel hope to see some more turtles
if you're coming to the daymaniat Islands most of the boats leave from al-mouj and if you're
looking for a company I would recommend daymaniat shells trust me they haven't paid me
anything I've paid for this tour but they've been really good really knowledgeable and
the captain was really great and helpful he spotted so many turtles on the way when we weren't even looking
so he's really great guy so yeah if you're looking for a snorkeling company daymaniat
look at all these turtles it's almost like they're having a party here I have
never seen so many of them together Oman is full of surprises and I'm sure you want to
see more than just this video so I created a full playlist click on the link above and check it out
we spent about an hour at the first stop and it was really nice to snorkel there
and now this is our second time and we are a little tired but still quite a
lot of fun and we spent about 45 minutes at the second stop
come at the right time in summer you can have up to a hundred whale sharks
here no promises but the footage speaks for itself
that's enough time in the water let's go check out some beaches on these beautiful islands now
that second snorkel was absolutely stunning as well there's so many beautiful fish here it's
incredible like it's just mind-blowing I got to see trumpet fish that I've never seen before and
they look absolutely stunning but it's also really sad to see uh all the bleaching and dead coral
so the risk of sounding preachy I'm gonna just say this if you feel like you can help or want
to help and you don't know how I would recommend but stop eating seafood and fish and you will
be doing them a massive favor and I would also recommend that if you've never snorkeled or dived
do it once because once you see these beautiful creatures in their environment you'd never want
to see them dead on your plate I promise you let's go see a little bit of daymaniat now
the islands are gorgeous I mean just look behind me oh my God this is wow unbelievable seriously
look at the turtle tracks they come here to lay their eggs
let's go check out some beautiful beaches there are so many cute little
ones little pockets and it is great because we are the only people here
so guys this is Captain Fahad and he's been taking us around all day and he has the best
eyesight I've ever seen on anyone in the sea he can spot a turtle from like really far away
can't give you measurements though he's the best captains if you come here do ask for him
I was thoroughly impressed by how great the guys at daymaniat shells were again I'm not being
paid to say this we ended up spending the rest of the day on these beautiful beaches it's nice
to walk around as well because you get to see so many different views of these gorgeous beaches
I'm not going to lie I am a little tempted to see what it is like to camp here but I'm not a big
fan of camping and sleeping rough so maybe you could give it a try and let me know how it went
we came for half a day and ended up spending pretty much the full day here it's
almost four o'clock and it is time to head back to Muscat I just couldn't get enough of these
beautiful islands I think I need to come back in summer and see the whale sharks for myself
