but by yourself, unfortunately, only beach clubs or hotels would accord you that privacy you want. Shorts and t-shirts would do- even if you're not used to it. You know the culture here. Diving lessons are done by 5-star hotels mostly. But quiet expensive. Just wonderin though why they stopped that public resort on that island by the bay. We used to swim there. 15 riyals for the roundtrip Dow, and they have restos in the resort for your food, but we try to sneak in our own food, which were not allowed. hehe
