Dolphin Marjan Diving Center - Daymaniyat Islands
Dolphin Marjan Diving Center is one of those Daymaniyat spots where the coral really holds its own. We’ve seen healthy stands of branched sandpaper coral and some decent sized brain coral heads, giving the reef a good structure for smaller critters to hide in. It’s a gentle dive, generally, good for getting your buoyancy dialed in while you check out the various stony corals. Keep an eye out for African blue swimming crabs scuttling across the sand patches between the coral bommies. Visibility is typically pretty good here, especially in the mornings before any currents stir things up.
