Snar Sund
Why dive here
Snar Sund is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-35°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Snar Sund wreck, sitting in just 3 meters of water, offers a unique kind of dive in the UAE. It’s a shallow splash, making it ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. You’re practically snorkeling over a sunken hull, which means fantastic natural light filtering through the water. We’ve spotted plenty of juvenile fish darting through the superstructure, and the encrusting corals are slowly taking hold, adding texture to the metal. Visibility is usually good here, letting you appreciate the scale of the wreck from above and swim along its weathered decks.
