Octopus Rock - Fujairah

Octopus Rock is a solid intermediate dive in Fujairah, one we often head to when we’re after a relaxed afternoon. It’s a pinnacle, dropping down to about 23 metres, so you’ll spend most of your time circling the rock itself. We usually find plenty of nudibranchs here, tucked away in the crevices, and sometimes a few cuttlefish hanging out. Visibility can be a bit variable, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant drift around the rock, suitable for divers comfortable with a little depth and keen on macro life.
