Sharms Rock

Sharm Rock - one of the best dive sites in United Arab Emirates, at a depth of 10 to 22 meters, is located offshore, about 15 minutes south of the Meridian Fujairah. Because of the three little outcrops of rocks that protrude above the surface, this dive site is also known as "3 Sisters" or "3 Rocks Pinnacles." A 150m long and 100m wide crack runs through the pinnacles that are close together. There is a fourth rock as well, but only the most experienced divers travel there.


Soft corals cover the rocks, providing a sanctuary for a variety of reef fish such as snappers, large-mouth mackerel, fusiliers, and shoals of jacks, which are among the favored prey of the large tuna that frequent these waters. Lionfish, boxfish, jawfish, and schools of bannerfish are all regular sightings. You can also see opportunistic predators such as moray eels, which feed on the numerous crustaceans, squid, and cuttlefish in the vicinity. Turtles, black-tip reef sharks, and stingrays can also be found on the sandy edges. Whale sharks are occasionally observed during the warmer months of the year, which is a fantastic treat for both divers and snorkelers.


The water in this location is usually calm, with visibility ranging from 5 to 20 meters. Its shallow depths make it suitable for snorkeling and divers of all levels of experience, and night diving is particularly popular.
