Dama
Why dive here
Dama is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-35°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Dama is a substantial wreck in Dubai, sitting upright at 22 metres. We classify it as a dangerous wreck, meaning penetration requires proper training and equipment. Even so, the exterior offers plenty to explore, with schools of barracuda often circling the superstructure and batfish hanging around the decks. It's a good pick for experienced wreck divers looking for a straightforward, accessible dive.
