Is it just me - or is all the media attention on the straits of Hormuz making anyone else wonder about what the diving might be like there?

I can see that the is a diving outfit in the tip of Oman - probably accessible from Dubai airport (obv. not quite at the the moment.....) Diving – Musandam

Has anyone tried diving on that side of the Arabian peninsula? I suppose that there is so much goodness in the red sea it would have to be pretty good to justify the increased risk of diving in such a volatile part of the world.

Wreck diving might become good in the Straits…..

one wouldn't want to get too close to Iran in case they arrested you and accused you of spying or just machine gunned you on the spot

I'm imagining the reefs on the Oman side might be quite un-dived and intact

this week might not be ideal but it would be bloody quiet and you could always watch the missiles flying overhead from the RIB...
