ENERGY DETERMINATION (FORE SECTION) - Fujairah

Dropping onto the Energy Determination’s fore section, you immediately get a sense of its scale. This isn't just a pile of metal; it’s a colossal piece of history, broken but still impressive. We usually start our dive exploring the bow, which sits upright, offering some interesting swim-throughs into what used to be crew quarters or storage – just be mindful of silt. Moray eels often peek out from behind rusted bulkheads, and schools of snapper hang in the deeper sections, enjoying the protection. It’s a rewarding wreck dive for those comfortable navigating larger structures, with the main draw being the sheer size of the tanker.
