Naked Inse? I'm defo up for it. Was snorkelling there a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely amazing - count me in - probably for diving lesson in pool - are we kipping over? Think Sandy Beach Hotel cost about 550 / night for 3 of us. xxx

I should be up for this, if I finally manage to buy my gear this week.

Just need to check the insurance situation on my car as well (will we be driving through Oman at any point).

1 diving course in the pool in the morning and an open water dive in the afternoon for those who want to give diving a try.

who fancies it?
Ok. Well as you have talked me in to this, and you are aware of difficulties I face, I will give it a go, with either snorkelling or a diving course in the morning, and see how it goes.

Well, much as I hate water, I'll come along for the craic. I can laze on the beach and watch SF and Rach drown...... Besides, staying over means getting drunk! Weekend after next is good for me.

I think Sue_M might want to go (she is a keen diver) but she is travelling at the moment, so might not see this thread.

Might just have to check the water before we go - when i was there some bastard ship refuelling at Fujeriah had dumped its oil in the water so there was a bit of oil in the sea and on the beach - apparently it happens alot - supposedly it was not safe to swim - didn't stop me mind and only took 3 showers to get rid of the smell................

the oil slicks are quite rare.
Never seen any when I've been there

Nice! This would suit me perfectly, then you'd have to reschedule for when I get back
