Dive sites in United Arab Emirates

Three rocky pinnacles break the surface off the Fujairah coast, forming a shallow reef above a sandy seabed. Depths drop from 5 meters at the pinnacle tops to 16 meters at the base. Gentle currents simplify navigation. Blacktip reef sharks patrol the sandy perimeter while green turtles rest on rocky ledges.

Intentionally scuttled off Khor Fakkan in 2001, the former oil field supply boat Inchcape 1 sits upright on a sandy seafloor at 30 meters. Over two decades submerged, soft corals and sponges have encrusted the exterior superstructure. The deck rests at 22 meters, where divers track hunting trevally and locate resident honeycomb moray eels.
