JIMMY DEAN, It's good to see someting is getting somewhere in Oman. I do see one problem with this project and that is that it built more than 800 feet above sea level. I can't body surf there.... plus without researching it myself, I doubt if the "man made lagoon" offers direct access (by water) to the Gulf of Oman as does Omagine. If not, that would be a distinct disagvantage to me. Regards, Bill of the Board....... P.S. Then again, if there is direct water access, other than a creek, I can envision an 800' water fall which would be a heck of a ride in a barrel considering the largest drop of any of the Niagara falls is a paltry 167'.
