Default Diving in Oman

Bloody marvellous, I was there on Friday, left at 5am and went with this dive club, cost me £30 for everything, 2 dives as well,

when we got there we saw loads of dolphins jumping out of the water and messing around, clear blue sea, first dive saw a big turtle swim past me from about 4 feet away, then loads of mad electric blue fish, trumpet fish, moray eels - then spent a few hours lying in the sun chilling out before my last dive then a few cold beers on the 2 hour journey back to the port finished off with a little snooze,

what a day.

By "stingers" are you talking about wasps, bumble bees, jelly fish or sting rays?

The jelly fish have moved on now. I spent the weekend diving in Musandam, it was great, good visibility, lots to see.
