Bang in the middle of summer, there’s little else to do but plunge into the sea. That’s exactly what we’ve done, taking full advantage of waters that attract people from across the world.

We’ve got every wave covered, from adrenaline rides to deep sea fishing, yacht reviews to the wonders of the deep. Culinary seafood specials and advice on how to cope with jellyfish stings round up our coverage.

This issue also marks the beginning of our Tidal Guide section, featuring readings along the coast, north to south from Musandam to Dhofar. You’ll have them up to four times a day, for each day of the month, from this issue onwards. If you’re headed down south, you will find our khareef special invaluable.

Wherever the current leads you, we wish you calm seas. Dive right in.
