Scuba Divers who are passionate about discovering the best dive spots of the Fujairah Indian Ocean. Below are the diving spots in Fujairah.

Inchcape 1 consists of three wide pinnacles in close proximity with a crack running along the top and is about 150 m long and 100 m deep.

Inchcape 1 almost always delivers Sea Turtles and Cuttle Fish and very nice Jaw Fish. Inchcape 1 is full of shoaling fish and it also has Banner Fish, Parrot Fish, and Puffers shoals.

The main rock runs 130 m below the surface so it’s a big site that takes about 40 minutes to swim round non-stop.

The hole is a swim through a length of about 15 m and a height of about 1.5 m 3 m deep, making it an overhead setting. You can have to give way to the rays or tortoises inside the opening. You may see some large Rays in the sand on the deeper portion of the dive and if you go any further you’ll see Seahorses and Nudibranches.

The dive start consists of massive granite boulders to explore with plenty of big cracks. You can come across a Sea Horse wrapped around a Sea Pen or a big Bell Ray or 2 as you dive down into the sand field.

When you enter the bay, the rock harbors abundant fields of Hard Corals and Anemone, the marine life in turn shifts as the depth shallows to around 8 m. The marine life has plenty of shoaling fish like Martini Rock, but there are more tropical species in the coral areas from Angel Fish, Butterfly Fish to Black Tip Reef Sharks, and even the occasional Whale Shark is going to leave.

Inch 2, sunk as an artificial reef in 2002, and donated to us by Inchcape Shipping Services, lies opposite Martini Wall. She was a surface supply vessel, and lies on a sandy sea floor in an upright position. Cyclone Gonu broke her wheelhouse in 2007 so we are now referring to her as the big mettle canoe.

This is an unusual wreck noted for Nudibranches with at least 20 different species found on her, as well as the shoaling Fusiliers and huge Puffer Fish. Even she is used for our Wreck Diving courses and if you wanted to penetrate her for up to 20 m you would have the opportunity.

The rock itself is about 160 m in length and is composed of two pinnacles at the widest point 80 m across.

A lot of shoaling at this site from Arabian Mackerel, Trevally, Sergeant Major’s, Fusiliers and Domino Damsel Fish. Look closer, among whip coral and teddy bear coral you’ll find Nudibranches, Cowrie Shells and various shrimps and crabs. Including the Porcupine Puffer, Moray Eels, Jaw Fish, Green and Hawks Bill Turtles and Barracuda, it is also home to some larger marine life.

A large number of cars and trucks (about 200) sunk in the 80’s to make a reef for the area’s fishermen.

The area has shrunk to around 60 square meters and 50 cars through the years and 2 cyclones. There are several wrecks in the outskirts of the site that shelter incredible marine life but these cars are usually dived by those who really know the location, the main site is where we can drop you near the Waffle (a big square wreck that resembles a waffle).

Great photography and discovery site and has an eco system for every ruin! The marine life is an Indian Ocean but at this site we also have Sea Horses, Rays, and Whale Sharks.

A pinnacle stretching 200 m lies beneath the surface and this is what we are going to be following on the dive.

The first part of the pinnacle will be a steep wall that will take you down to the site ‘s deepest area. You’ll see tropical marine life on top, and perhaps the Devil Rays shoal.

The second part of the dive around the island is a gentler sloping wall which ends in a mountain coral wall. Here you’ll see Black Tips, Turtles and many species of tropical fish, and it’s a great place to make a safety stop.

The site consists of three wide pinnacles in close proximity with a crack running along the top and is about 150 m long and 100 m deep. There’s a 4th rock as well but we don’t dive this on a standard dive schedule, but on occasions the more experienced divers will go here.

Sharm Rocks almost always delivers Sea Turtles and Cuttle Fish and very nice Jaw Fish. Sharm Rocks is full of shoaling fish and it also has Banner Fish, Parrot Fish, and Puffers shoals.

The wall consists of large granite rocks and is a 250 m swim, hard corals near the shore, while hard corals cover a wide area of about 200 m in the bay.

The site has plenty of shoaling fish like Cornet Carp, Trevally, Mackerel, Fusiliers, Sergeant Majors and Damselfish and every now and then you come across some huge Tortoises, Honey Comb Morays and Black Tip Sharks. If you come from the wall and follow the rock out you will be rewarded with some beautiful Table Corals with a range of at least 2 m, here you will find an abundance of marine life in the tropical Indian Ocean.

The site is 200 m in length and 160 m in width and consists of two areas the largest being the deeper portion.

On this site, Eksena Crabs, Slipper Lobsters, Shrimp Fish, Sea Horses, Bell Rays, and Nudibranches are all common. Add to that the shoaling fish and the place becomes really busy and certainly fascinating

This Corel Gardens is neighbour to Anemone Gardens and they were probably one dive spot in the past. A little smaller than Anemone, but still 140 m long and 100 m wide, and again made up of two parts, each of which is the same size. The marine life is similar to Anemone and its profundity is the only distinction.
