Diving Octopus Rock and Ras Sanut with Nomad Ocean Adventure, Musandam, Oman
In this video Vance and Bobbi are guiding Hannah on Octopus Rock in the first segments, with morays and crayfish around the rock, jacks and fusiliers on the rock itself, and a batfish being administered to by wrasse. Then at Ras Sanut Bobbi finds a big crayfish, and we see a mottled eel, a cuttlefish, and a feathertailed ray.

Diving Musandam, Oman: Lu'lu Island with Nomad Ocean Adventures
These videos were taken Apr 28, 2017 on our second dive of the day on Lu'lu island, in Musandam Oman.
We entered the water to find a fishnet on the reef and a live lobster trapped inside. We tried to free it but decided it wasn't worth the time - a snorkeler who wanted it for dinner probably rescued it after we left. We rounded the rock and kept on an easterly heading over the sand to arrive at more islands a couple hundred meters distant. I brief this part of the dive by telling people there are clown fish there so bored that they rush up from anemones on the bottom to meet approaching divers, which is what you see in the video. We looked for rays in the sand but found only flounders. On the far rocks we found morays and pretty corals tableaux, and Greg and I ended amid schools of reef fish on the south end of the island chain. Unfortunately algae in the water compromised visibility there.
Dibba Oman, Nomad Ocean Adventures weekend
Spend a weekend in Dibba, Oman, me doing my Advance Open Water course and my three friends their Open Water course. Unfortunately no underwater footage, since we were doing the courses and had to focus on the skills. What an amazing diving spot and center!

Diving Musandam Oman with Nomad Ocean Adventure June19-20, 2015
Bobbi and Vance joined David Muirhead, Bruce Ora, Molly Alice Carter, and Dan Miles for a weekend of beating the June summer heat in UAE with the wet and wild of the waters off Musandam Oman. This video compilation exerpts dives on Lima Rock, Ras Morovi and Ras Sanut (Wonderwall). Missing from the video is an eagle ray that shot overhead and into the blue off Lima Rock. I was carrying two cameras and picked up the wrong one that was switched off (and those things are fast!). Another game you can play with the video is spot the blue snorkel (hint, it WAS hiding under a turtle). Enjoy

Last dives ever at Nomad Ocean Adventures: Musandam Island, Ras Lima, and Lima North, June 2, 2017
These video snippets were compiled from clips made on our last ever dives with Nomad Ocean Adventures on Musandam Island, Ras Lima, and Lima Rock, June 2, 2017.
We approach Fanaku through wind, current, and pray, but these make us retreat to the shelter of Musandam Island where we find poor vis. Nevertheless we see Nudibranchs, a flounder, and moray eels. Retreating further back to Lima Headland we find cuttlefish, a slipper lobster, and a turtle. Across the channel on Lima Rock we see speckled fish, a raging crayfish, a large honeycomb moray guarding a dive weight in front of a swimthrough, a large jack, and fusiliers at the safety stop.
It was bitter sweet diving considering the fond farewell to Nomad Ocean Adventures, doing their best, as ever.
Diving in a group with Diving with Nicki Blower and my favorite dive buddy Bobbi Stevens. Also on board and in the water were Khaled Sultani and Chris Chellapermal, getting in his last dives with the company he founded and managed so remarkably.

Certifying Harleen Kaur and Patricia Azevedo Bagas as PADI O/W Divers, Musandam, Oman
These videos were taken Apr 7-8, 2017 in the course of certifying diving Harleen Kaur and Patricia Azevedo Bagas as PADI Open Water SCUBA Divers - Nomad Ocean Adventure, Musandam, Oman
The videos show schooling jacks and a turtle at Ras Morovi and a scorpion fish on Lima Headland on April 7. Patricia joined us on Saturday, April 8 and we saw a grey moray eel at Lu'lu Island and a sting ray on Lima Rock (North).
The Lima Rock dive ended in considerable current that swept us past the rock and into deep green water, where we encountered the school of huge barracudas that hangs out there, visible only to passers-by too busy battling down currents to engage their GoPros.
Congratulations to the newly certified divers Harleen Kaur and Patricia Azevedo Bagas
