Al Batinah
Why dive here
Al Batinah is a dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks.
Al Batinah is one of those Fujairah sites that often flies under the radar, but it’s worth a look if you’re in the area. We typically drop onto a sandy bottom at around 22 meters, finding a scattered collection of rocks and small reef patches. It’s not a dramatic wall dive, but we’ve consistently found some interesting macro life here, like nudibranchs, pipefish, and occasionally a shy reef octopus tucked into a crevice. It’s a good choice for intermediate divers looking for a relaxed bottom time and a chance to really slow down and observe the smaller residents.
