Jackfish Corner
Why dive here
Jackfish Corner is a dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-34°C, warmest July, August, September.
Jackfish Corner, off Fujairah, lives up to its name. We often find schooling jackfish here, sometimes in swirling tornadoes that briefly dim the light. It's a deeper spot, down to 26 metres, so we usually save it for the second dive of the day, after something shallower. Currents can pick up, so it's a site for intermediate divers comfortable moving in a bit of flow. Keep an eye out for patrolling reef sharks cruising the perimeter; they make a good day even better.
