Lima Rock is probably the best known dive site in the Musandam Peninsula, reached after a fifty minutes boat trip from Dibba al Biya fishing port. It is a pinnacle limestone island approximately 800 meter long and 200 meter wide with steep vertical drops to more than sixty meters deep. Its shallow north side (still up to 30 meter) is famous because of its many caves, crevices, overhangs and healthy coral formations. The east side is deep and offers some great wall diving. This is also the place to find pelagic species such as yellow-fin, barracuda, wrasses, zebra sharks and jacks.
