Plongée dans un aquarium géant !

Il n'y a pas eu un jour moins bien que les autres... la rencontre furtive avec un requin, la nage avec des tortues, le palier au milieu d'une chasse de carangues et autres carnassiers, et tellement d'autres belles rencontres.

La richesse de la biodiversité sous-marine de la péninsule du Musandam, le rythme (intensif) des plongées, les très bons repas
