Sea-Kayaking anyone?

Hi there,

 

Does anyone out there know of any place in this country where I can go sea-kayaking?  I'm a beginner but would love to get into it while I'm here.  With shallow waters around Qatar it's a great place to learn.  As long as you look out for oil tankers and jetskis!

 

Hope someone else out there is already doing it!

There are sharks in the waters around Qatar, the shark Charmed mentioned was actually a grey reef shark.

Hammerheads have been reported off the coasts of all GCC states as its a part of the migratory patterns of the fish.

Tiger sharks have also been spotted/caught off the coast of Dubai (in the fronds of the palms) and Abu Dhabi.

February to April the sea snakes breed and will attack anything.

You are quite, quite correct. If divers are mad enough to contend with it then I'm sure I can cope. The butter dish will protect me a little better from the big fish and jellyfish.

I may have to find and chop down a tree and start carving a canoe out of it. By the time I finish, it will be time to go back to the UK and the freezing waters of the Outer Hebrides.

Let me get this straight.. You want to go into the sea, where there are tankers, large fish, power boaters, yachtsmen, sailors and lots of ocean thingies in a piece of fibreglass shaped like a elongatd butter dish!
