Why dive here
Monkey Head is a dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-34°C, warmest July, August, September.
Monkey Head is a reliable spot for an easy dive in Fujairah. We find the depth of 17 meters makes it comfortable for newer divers looking to build some confidence, or those just wanting a relaxed afternoon in the water. You’ll typically see plenty of reef fish flitting around the rock formations – parrotfish often graze the corals and we’ve spotted moray eels peeking from crevices more than once. It’s not a site that will blow your mind, but it’s a perfectly pleasant place to spend an hour underwater, especially when you’re after something calm.
