Khark
Why dive here
Khark is a wreck dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-34°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Khark in Fujairah is a freighter wreck, sitting upright at around 20 metres. It’s not an ancient wreck, but she’s been down long enough to become a proper artificial reef, with plenty of resident fish. You'll often spot schools of snapper and fusiliers hanging around the superstructure, and a keen eye might pick out some morays peeking from the holds. It's a good choice for divers who enjoy wreck exploration without needing deep penetration, offering a relaxed dive with interesting features to poke around.
