Barracuda Rock
Why dive here
Barracuda Rock is a pinnacle dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-34°C, warmest July, August, September.
Barracuda Rock, a modest pinnacle off Fujairah, is a good pick for a relaxed dive. We’ve found it’s usually quite calm here, making it perfect for newer divers getting comfortable in open water. Dropping to 22m, the rock itself provides plenty of nooks for moray eels and lionfish to hide. Keep an eye out in the blue for the occasional barracuda, though they’re not always guaranteed to be schooling. It’s a solid, easy dive when you’re looking for a chill afternoon in the water.
