Free-diving and swimming contests highlight day three of Musandam Diving Festival

The third day of the Musandam International Diving Festival offered a blend of competition, exploration and education, further positioning the Omani governorate as a world-class diving destination.

On Wednesday, more than 65 divers joined an exploration adventure showcasing Musandam’s deep waters and their potential as a global attraction for marine tourism. Competitive events added excitement for both residents and visitors, with free-diving contests testing endurance and breath control, and swimming races featuring categories for both children and adults.

The festival also featured alternative challenges such as the Jar Challenge and the E-Rowing Championship, combining physical activity with entertainment and community participation.

Education remained central to the program. A workshop on deep-diving medicine provided practical training, while a discussion with Kuwaiti champion diver Husain Al-Qallaf gave attendees insights into the demands and rewards of a professional diving career.

Launched this year as a four-day celebration, the festival also underscores its commitment to environmental stewardship. Divers have engaged in coral planting and reef-cleaning activities, linking sports with marine conservation.

Organizers emphasized that the initiative reflects Oman’s strategy to grow eco-tourism while cementing Musandam’s role as one of the Middle East’s premier diving hubs.
