Oman Dive Center is the oldest dive center in Oman. Founded in 1989, it was run as a dive club for several years and has undergone remarkable changes to become what it is today. In 2004 Oman Dive Center was taken over by Extra Divers Worldwide and was transformed into the only "eco dive resort” of Oman - in fact the only one in the Middle East!

Under the Extra Divers Management, Oman Dive Center became a professional dive resort. New facilities including a storage area for diving gear, rinsing pools and changing rooms were built for the dive center. In the dive school, teaching facilities were improved to include two fully equipped classrooms with audiovisual material for the students.

The urge for accommodation was clear from the beginning. Thirty bungalows were built directly on the beach beside the dive center and, later on, the building which was previously used as the dive club cafeteria was turned into the Odyssey Restaurant.

A small beach hut –originally used as a bar- was the major victim of Gonu, the cyclone that hit the east coast of Oman in early June 2007. The poor hut was literally washed away by the storm. On its ruins, a magnificent new beach bar was built for the enjoyment of our guests. It has an oriental corner for shisha lovers.

Our international staff looks forward to welcoming you to Oman Dive Center.
