Looks to be the wreck of a tanker. I suspect the name of the vessel and date of loss may be inaccurate.
Actually it is a cargo ship...
The problem here in Oman we don’t have a law protecting these wrecks so there are people who came salvaging its steel plates and selling it

I am trying to get few wrecks documented before i head to ministry of heritage with a proposal of protecting these wrecks as part of history... That’s one of the reasons I am doing this…
There are few wrecks that I haven’t dived yet but going to in march… and will need the history of these wrecks as well if I couldn’t find them…
Here are some photos of the wreck,,,

Visibility was bad that day so I couldn’t take lots of good photos,,, My plan for this summer is to go back and take more photos of the wrecks and try to get a top view of it…
