Amazing Bimmah Sinkhole
A sink hole can be formed suddenly with no warning at all. It could occur in the local interstate, in the neighborhood, within the lawn, or even in one’s own house. Although there are places around the world which are prone to sinkhole formations, nobody can ever predict when it will occur. Occasionally, it begins with a leaky rusty pipe which erodes the land underneath the Earth’s surface. Whole houses, building, and roads could be sucked into it.
This sinkhole was formed naturally when the ground over unstable layers collapsed on itself. There is an underwater tunnel leading to the sea 500 metres away, leading to a mixing of fresh and sea water in the hole. It is possible to dive this, however due to possible extreme tidal conditions, caution is advised.
The Sinkhole is located about 6km from Dibab along the coast graded road from Muscat to Sur. Right now a big motorway is under construction next to it. Bimmah in Oman has been turned into a swim park for tourists.

Wow…we get sinkholes here in Florida, but nothing that beautiful that’s for sure!
Beautiful photos! The sinkhole kind of reminds me of the sacred underground cenotes of Mexico’s Riviera Maya.
Who would have ever though a sinkhole could look that gorgeous!
What a sinkhole <3
A sinkhole happens when the ground is so soft that it caves in on itself. Sometimes taking homes or people with it.
I am almost positive that they meant that as an exclamation. Like “What a sinkhole! Wow!”
Isnt a sinkhole dangerous to swim in? Wouldnt it bring you down like quicksand?

Looks like a popular swimming hole now. The water looks incredible.

“The Sinkhole is located about 6km from Dibab along the coast graded road from Muscat to Sur. Right now a big motorway is under construction next to it. Bimmah in Oman has been turned into a swim park for tourists.”
The water is so clean and beautiful. I wish people didn’t know this place so it would still remain beautiful.
Wow, it was wonderful
very nice place for a swim, jump or even for a climb.
this looks very nice it doesn’t look like deep but it is very deep
Quite mind boggling!
We get sink holes in Fl. as well, but they usually just cost money and annoy you, nothing like this one.
AMAZING that is.. would love to travel to that place
It’s the real amazing nature.
That’s really neat, I wonder if tectonic shifts are responsible, and what the ground underneath the sink hole looks like before it sinks, like is a cavern WAY underground or is it close to the ground or is it just a whole bunch of loose dirt??
Its realy an amazing place to hang around
Amazing waters, nice photos we like it
Really cool pics
Definitely a place most people only get to dream about visiting
