LUXURY LIVEABOARD HOLIDAYS TO OMAN
The Vision liveaboard was built in 2025 and is a 29-metre luxury yacht specially designed for diving and cruising in the pristine seas surrounding Musandam, Oman.

Diving in the Musandam Peninsula is characterised by towering underwater cliffs, vibrant soft corals, and an abundance of marine life drawn in by nutrient-rich currents from the Strait of Hormuz. Divers can expect to encounter schools of fusiliers, snappers and barracuda swirling around the reef, along with frequent sightings of stingrays, leopard sharks and turtles. It’s also possible to see Whale Sharks here. Caves and overhangs provide shelter for moray eels and cuttlefish, while macro enthusiasts can spot nudibranchs, scorpionfish, and shrimp nestled in the coral.
