Why dive here
Khoar Qabal is a dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-34°C, warmest July, August, September.
Khoar Qabal in Fujairah offers a gentle introduction to diving in the UAE, maxing out at a beginner-friendly 17 meters. It's a relaxed spot, great for knocking off some rust or getting comfortable with your buoyancy. You’ll typically find a good assortment of reef fish – parrotfish munching on coral, the occasional moray eel peeking from a crevice, and schools of snapper moving slowly across the bottom. We like it for easy dives, especially if you’re looking for a chill afternoon underwater without strong currents or big depths to worry about.
