Ras Morovi

Where one of Musandam's drowned valleys meets the open strait, Ras Morovi bends the current around a headland and collects the best of both waters: hard-coral gardens in the sheltered lee, boulder terraces and gorgonians on the exposed nose. Green turtles graze the shallower gardens, morays and lobster pack the boulder gaps, and lionfish drift the coral heads like slow ornaments. The topography invites an unhurried route - work the point while the tide allows, then let the last of the dive wash into the calm bay among snapper schools. It lacks Lima Rock's drama and Octopus Rock's strangeness, which is precisely its role on a Musandam day: the settling dive where the peninsula's underwater landscape can simply be looked at.

您此行的高光时刻: Turtle-grazed coral gardens; boulder terraces on the point; the fjord-mouth setting.

地形地貌: Boulder slopes and coral gardens wrapping a limestone headland into a sheltered bay

入水方式: A fjord-mouth headland on the Lima side of the peninsula, usually dived between Lima Rock sessions; the boat shelters in the bay behind.

危险因素: Current on the exposed nose; boat movements at the bay mouth.
