Super trip on and in the water - Super trip on and in the water. Chosen for a trip with max 12 people on the boat, there were now only 7. Very friendly crew, very professional. Water, fruit and sandwiches provided. A person from the crew goes into the water with an underwater camera. This of course adds value to this trip. Recommended!!

5⭐️ Excursion! Swimming with Turtles Made Our Trip 🐢 - We had such an amazing excursion! The whole team was so friendly and knowledgeable, which made us feel completely comfortable throughout. The dive itself was unforgettable – swimming alongside turtles and colourful fish was an experience of a lifetime. Captain Jamal was fantastic, very professional and welcoming, and made the trip even more enjoyable. Everything was well organised from start to finish. I would absolutely go again and highly recommend this to anyone looking for an incredible underwater adventure!

Breathtaking - Absolutely breathtaking — truly unforgettable! The team at Daymaniat Shells went above and beyond to make the experience seamless and special. What touched me most was how much care they put into ensuring everyone’s safety and comfort — nothing was ever too much trouble. A heartfelt thank you to Lea and the lovely lady who kindly kept me updated on WhatsApp (I’m so sorry your name escapes me!) — your kindness and patience meant so much. And to Captain Farhad and his wonderful crew — you are more than tour guides; you are passionate guardians of the ocean. The love and dedication you show in teaching others about the beauty of the sea and its creatures is inspiring. Inshallah, with leaders like you, more people will learn to respect, protect, and cherish our incredible world. 🌊💙

THE ABSOLUTE BEST SNORKELING EXPERIENCE - I had the absolute best time with Daymaniat Shells! Our Captain (of course I am terrible with names and cannot remember) was amazing. My experience was amazing. He was so friendly and everyone else on our snorkeling adventure was great. Our Captain even saw a group of people who needed help. The current took them far away from everyone else and they could not swim back. We took them on board and brought them back to their group. I had the best time! And we got there a bit before everyone so we had the turtles all to ourselves. Small boat = intimate turtle experience! I would absolutely recommend Daymaniat Shells to anyone visiting Oman!!!
