Awesome trip with global scuba. Captain sunny is the best and professional. Chilled juice, water and delicious sandwiches was given. It worth the money I paid

I wanted a closeup view of the Daymaniat Islands and this trip afforded that opportunity. The boat captain, assistant, and dive instructor were open , friendly, helpful, encouraging, and professional. The Scuba divers on the trip had two opportunities to view the underwater environment and were quite pleased with the help and guidance of the dive master. Snorkelers had an equally adventuresome trip and I could tell that they were pleased with the experience.

After booking this trip through Viator, I attempted to contact global scuba to confirm the pick up location at the port. I did not hear from them. On the morning of the tour, I attempted to confirm again, but again, did not get a response. With no other option, we left for the port we believed we had selected and hoped we would see a sign for the company. Once at the port, another company informed us we were likely in the wrong spot, so they attempted to help us call global scuba (as our phones/ internet was very spotty). Again, there was no answer. It proved impossible to get ahold of global scuba and I’m extremely disappointed that Viator’s response was simply, “sorry”. We ended up going with another tour group on the spot, but are out the money for this trip as neither Viator nor Global Scuba will refund the money for the missed trip, despite our repeated attempts to contact them ahead of time.

Captain: Sunny Good, kind, and supportive Captain. Guide all team members very well. The speed boat is nice and clean with the attached washroom. The tour starts at 9 am. After 20 minutes of drive, we saw shark and do our snorkeling. After that, we reached the island . We saw turtles and many species. Then he dropped us on the island for 1 hrs. We came back at 2.30 pm. Tour is safe with kids. Highly recommend and must bucket list.

Am overwhelmed with the trip. I was awesome having sunny as our captain and guide. We had two stops. First with turtles and second with reef sharks. I recommend this company.

Fun tour, you’ll definitely see lots of sea turtle. DJ was the guide and he was helpful and nice. The only bad thing is that we had to wait nearly an hour for a family to arrive. Not fair for the rest of the people

Me and my husband decided to do the turtle snorkeling tour offered by Global Scuba in Oman. We were very excited to do the tour, as it was recommended by a friend who did this tour with them. Infortunately it was our day, as we had numerous issues: 1. We arrived on time to leave for the tour, but had to wait for an hour on the boat before leaving. 2. Our guide/instructor(Johan)was very helpful and offered us refreshments, and was very apologetic about the delay. 3. As we eventually left, our boat's engines started giving problems and was delayed once again. 4. Eventually when we got to the island, we done some snorkeling with the turtles, which was very amazing. 5. As per our booking, we should have done 2 different snorkeling spots, but we went straight to the beach(which was beautiful)without doing the second area. 6. As the boat's engines kept on failing, we were to transfer to another of the company's boats, which already full of guests. 7. As we left the boat to transfer, Johan(I assume was the manager) told the other boat captain to take us so that we can get back in time to the port and be safe. The captain that was to take us(Deejay), then started screaming at Johan saying that he cannot take us as his boat was full. I have heard Johan asking him calmly at least twice to stop as there are guasts around, but he just continued ranting. 8. We eventually got on his boat, uncomfortable as it may have been, but at least we had a ride back to the port. Deejay went(in my opinion) too fast with the load, and made me and other guests very uncomfortable. Needless to say, we made it back to the port safely. We saw Johan on the pier, and he once again apolgised for the mishaps during the trip. He was very professional, and he calmed us down, and jokingly offered to buy us dinner. In all, a good trip with bad experience and a very unprofessional captain(Dejay). I will not recommend this excursion with him in control of the boat and guests.

Best and amazing trip with captain Sony. He's so professional and a good guide. My first time to swarm with large numbers of turtle and reef sharks. Highly recommended

Our group of friends went to travel though Oman, and decided to join Global Scuba for the snorkeling with turtles experience at the Daymanyat Islands. It was a great experience, except for my friend who have never done snorkeling before. Unfortunately he did not inform the captain or our host Johan. and when he got in the water, he panicked and started to splash around. We screamed for the boat for help, and Johan jumped in the water to assist my friend. He reached him, calmed him down and swam with him to the boat where he received a life ring from another guest. In all, I think it could have been far more serious if it was not for the quick reaction of Johan, and we all would like to thank him!!! Apart from this happening, we saw lots of turtles, nice corals, enjoyed the sandwiches that was on board and the beautiful beach. thank you Global Scuba and Johan for your hospitality and care. I will recommend to other guest to do this trip with them when in Oman.

VERY UNSAFE! DON'T GO WITH THIS COMPANY!!!! THEY FRACTURED MY BROTHERS BACK!! Global Scuba went out at sea on March 4th, even though there was an alert to not go out at sea. We had a very unsafe boat ride that day, which resulted in injury. All passengers were jumping up and down from their seats because of the strong current (and I suspect because the driver doesn't have his boat license so he didn't know how to manage the water). Water kept entering the boat. It was extremely rough. As a result my brother landed very hard on his seat, you could hear his back crack. I called out to the captain and they said he could sit somewhere else. So he tried to stand up to switch seats but he suddenly collapsed, because he was temporarily paralyzed his legs were not functioning. They did not know first aid. When my brother collapsed they tried to lift him up, while you're supposed to let them lay down for possible spinal injuries. And they didn't even have a heat blanket to keep him warm, while he was shivering from the cold. Water kept entering the boat. We went to the hospital and got X-rays done in the hospital, they show a defect on LL5 in his spine...He cannot use his back for at least 6 weeks. And we will still have to see if there is any more injury in our home country. Our hospital bill was 65 Rial and they also refuse to pay it, because they think they are not liable. Furthermore, my brother and husband didn't even get a life vest, because there weren't enough for all passengers!!!! The boat also had no radio to make contact on land to call an ambulance. Here is the link of the Times of Oman that The Civil Aviation Authority advised to not sail during alert period, which they ignored: https://timesofoman.com/article/142789-weather-caa-issues-heavy-rainfall-alert-for-muscat-other-parts-of-oman Please DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

We enjoyed this highly recommended afternoon outing at the end of our 7 day trip, first visiting Oman's amazing mountains, wadi's and desert. Having underestimated the time for the taxi ride to the port, our panic of arriving 20 mins late despite a very obliging cabbie, was over quickly when I reached Sea World Oman / Global Scuba on WhatsApp (although listed numbers didn't take calls) who then put us through to our captain Jonah, who very kindly reassured us the boat would wait for us. Speedboat skipper DJ deftly whisked our group of 8 to 'turtle city' and at the second stop walked us to turtle bay beach. Jonah's knowledge and experience was delivered in an attentive and jovial manner: rules for marine/coral protection clearly explained to all, our questions on turtles/ fish answered, and offering sandwiches and drinks to each of us individually. Both Jonah and DJ kept an eye out to point out spots for us to head to. Despite the chilly water (the short beach warming was welcome at the second location) the snorkelling was wonderful! I saw an array of small and large colourful coral fish, and followed a number of wonderfully serene sea turtles around, including a metre-long one which came up for air next to me. Shame I didn't sort out my underwater camera out beforehand! Would book again with these guys!

Perfect experience! Good choice of snorkeling spots, our guide Badawi was nice and experienced. For the whole trip there were prepared snacks, water and toasts. Everything fresh and very tasty. We really had a great time. We saw turtles, rays, many fish and even a small shark. Definitely worth the money.

Most excellent trip ever since our 8 days in Oman. I am my wife really enjoyed ourselves and the trip was perfectly. We saw dozens of turtles, stingrays and to crown it all the black tip sharks. Special Thanks to Sony for guiding us to see the above mention animals. And thanks to Dj for been nice. It was a perfect trip and I recommend this company.

Enjoyed a beautiful day on the Gulf of Oman. Found a very clear place to snorkel and the island visit produced some amazing my pictures.

Today's trip was perfect and professional services from our captain and guide Sony. I and my family saw a lot of turtle, fishes and coloful coral reefs. The tour was well and properly explained in details by Sony. I wish you all the best.

Thank you Sony for teaching me how to swim and guiding us properly. The sandwich, snacks, cold water and juice. Clean boat and smooth sailing.

Everything was perfect our tour guy Mohammed was so kind and helpful and the Sunset and turtles👌💛🧡

Nice snorkelling and snacks, great crew. Rama and el capitano did their best to cross the waves, the way to the islands was quite rough. The provided gear was perfect.
