Dive into Oman and save 25% with Dive Worldwide
Enjoy big savings at the luxury beachfront Shangri-La Barr Al Jissa Resort & Spa with Dive Worldwide this summer on bookings made before 30 June.
Oman’s relative proximity to the UK makes it ideal for divers looking for a good value diving holiday. The Sultanate of Oman is surrounded by the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman, both attracting an abundance of marine life in their nutrient rich waters. Enjoy untouched reefs and copious marine life with plenty of healthy corals and large pelagics such as devil rays, leopard sharks and grouper on the dive sites around the Fahal Islands. It is also common to see dolphins, turtles and whales off the coast. Wreck enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the Al Munassir wreck.
Guests opting for the Explore Muscat break stay seven nights at the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissa Resort & Spa, a luxury, modern resort featuring three hotels and a comprehensive array of facilities. Among them are: a range of restaurants and cafés, shops, bars, a Cool Zone kids’ club, adventure zone, mini golf, three pools (a lazy river connects two of them), fitness centre, tennis courts and activity centre. The resort also features the secluded turtle beach and the Turtle Care Project employing a dedicated ranger to ensure the safety of the nests as well as raise awareness among the guests and local communities.
Included is a five-day/10 dive package with the onsite dive centre, which leaves time spare to enjoy the facilities, or to take a day trip to explore the desert, wadis or remote villages locally.
Terms of Special Offer:
- Save 25% at the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissa Resort & Spa.
- Valid at Al Waha, Al Bandar & Al Husn hotels.

Dive Worldwide Announces Bite-Back as its Charity of the Year
Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
