Ajayeb-e Abi Qeshm Diving Center - Daymaniyat Islands
Okay, so Ajayeb-e Abi Qeshm. It's one of the quieter spots in the Daymaniyats, a good choice if the main sites feel a bit too busy. You'll find a nice mix of hard corals here, plenty of staghorn and brain coral, and a surprising number of shore crabs scuttling about the rocky patches. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, perfect for just cruising along and taking your time. We’d suggest it for anyone looking for a chill afternoon dive, or perhaps a second dive after something more energetic.
