Sheikh Mohammed s Barge
Why dive here
Sheikh Mohammed s Barge is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-35°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sheikh Mohammed's Barge offers a solid wreck dive off the coast of Dubai. It's a sizable structure, having settled on its side, allowing for some interesting swim-throughs if you're comfortable with overhead environments. We've seen good numbers of snapper and barracuda schooling around the deeper sections, and the resident groupers aren’t shy. While it’s not the most colourful wreck you’ll ever dive, the sheer size and the way it’s become an artificial reef make it a worthwhile trip for those who enjoy poking around a proper sunken vessel.
