March - April
Tuna season - Many Omanis make their livelihood from fishing, and the villagers of Zighy Bay are traditional fishermen. For a few weeks the Musandam waters are rich with local Tuna, with some catches even valued up to 3,000 OMR!
January - March
Whale shark season - The whale sharks migrate from the southern bay of Oman to the Straits of Hormuz during seasonal shifts and change in water temperature; this is the best time for a chance of spotting them in a transient position around Lima Rock. They may be spotted at the dive sites north of the resort less than 45 minutes by speedboat away and in the open waters; usually within the first 40 feet (12 meters) of water.
