Daymaniat Shells is a locally based marine tourism company at Al Mouj Marina in Muscat, offering snorkeling trips to the Daymaniat Islands Nature Reserve.
Since 2016, our experienced team has been sharing the beauty of the islands through daily snorkeling trips, private adventures and seasonal experiences — always with personal care, respect for the ocean and a passion for marine conservation.
Whale Shark Research & Conservation
We had the privilege of working alongside an international team of whale shark researchers to study these incredible ocean giants in the waters of Muscat.
Together, we supported whale shark tagging, photo identification and the collection of valuable research data — helping to build a better understanding of the whale sharks visiting Oman.
For us, this project was about more than research. It reflects our deep connection to the ocean and our commitment to understanding and protecting the marine life we are fortunate to encounter.
