JAHAD FANOOS

Jahad Fanoos is our pick in Fujairah if you’re looking for a wreck that feels alive. Forget those sterile, recently sunk boats; this one has been down for a while, and it shows. The hull is draped in soft corals, like a forgotten velvet curtain, and you’ll see schools of fusiliers and snapper darting in and out of the superstructure. We love exploring the deeper sections of the wreck, where moray eels often peer out from nooks and crannies. Keep an eye on the sand around the bow; blue-spotted rays often rest there, half-buried. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, the light filters through the water column, giving the wreck an almost ethereal glow. It’s perfect for divers who enjoy a bit of history mixed with their marine life, offering plenty of nooks and crannies to explore without being overly challenging. Our best advice? Go early in the morning to beat the crowds and enjoy the quiet.
