    The *Erice* is a proper piece of history off Fujairah, a large motor vessel that caught fire and was abandoned back in '73. She’s big, over 150 metres long, and lies in a shallow eight metres, making her perfect for an easy dive. You’ll find the wreck well broken up now, but the sheer scale of it still impresses. What’s left has become a home for all sorts of reef fish, with snapper and barracuda often circling the deeper sections of the hull. It’s a great site for newer wreck divers or anyone wanting a relaxed dive with a bit of history thrown in.
