Why dive here
NASSAR 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.
Nassar is one of those Fujairah wrecks that just keeps giving. This old motor vessel, grounded back in '76, now lies broken on the seabed in around 10 metres, making it an ideal shallow dive. We love the way she's split open, allowing light to pour into her various sections – you can fin your way through the holds, past twisted metal and the occasional schooling snapper. Keep an eye out for morays tucked into every crevice; they’re pretty territorial here. The wreck's structure attracts a surprising amount of life. We've seen turtles munching on algae near the stern and often find stingrays resting in the sand around the edges of the debris field. The visibility can be a bit hit-or-miss, especially after a strong current, but when it’s good, the light reflecting off the sandy bottom makes the whole site glow. It’s a photographer's playground, particularly for wide-angle shots of the wreck’s skeletal remains. Perfect for anyone looking for an easy wreck dive with plenty to explore.
