Entry / access
boat

Lima Rock rises from deep water about 50 minutes by boat from Dibba harbour. Sloping walls with swim-throughs and caves run around the rock, and the usual plan is a drift from south to north where depths stay within 20 m. Trips from Dibba cross into Omani territory, so centres collect passport details and border paperwork in advance; rules have changed over time, so confirm with your operator.

Difficulty
beginner

Open Water for the sheltered north side; experience advised for south-side caves and down-currents

Best season
Sep–Nov for whale sharks; Mar–Aug warmer water (Musandam generally)
