Ras Dillah - Fujairah
Ras Dillah is one of Fujairah’s more relaxed dives, sitting at a comfortable 19m max depth. It’s a great spot for those getting comfortable in the water, or anyone who just wants an easy dive without much fuss. We often find juvenile barracuda hanging out here, plus the usual suspects like moray eels tucked into crevices and parrotfish grazing on the corals. Visibility is generally pretty decent, making it an easy-going dive for spotting the smaller stuff, too.
