Dive-site story
What makes this site worth diving
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.
