Lost Anchor
Why dive here
Lost Anchor is a dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-34°C, warmest July, August, September.
Lost Anchor in Fujairah is a solid choice for a relaxing dive, particularly if you’re newer to the sport or just fancy an easy day out. We often drop down to about 20 metres, where the star attraction, a surprisingly large anchor, rests on the sandy bottom. Around it, you'll usually find schools of fusiliers swirling, and we’ve spotted moray eels tucked into the scattered rocky outcrops nearby. It's a comfortable dive, rarely with strong currents, making it ideal for getting comfortable with your buoyancy or trying out new camera settings without too much hassle.
