TCS SUPREME - Dubai & Abu Dhabi
The TCS Supreme, a supply vessel that went down in 2009 after a collision, rests upright at 21 meters, making it a good target for advanced open water divers. We’ve found the wreck relatively intact, providing plenty to explore around the wheelhouse and cargo areas. Schools of fusiliers often swirl around the superstructure, and we’ve spotted moray eels tucked into crevices. It's a solid wreck dive for those looking for something substantial and accessible in the UAE, with decent visibility often making for a relaxed exploration.
