Ras Musandam (East) in Fujairah gives you a solid intermediate dive. Dropping to 22 metres, it’s a good spot for seeing some of the larger residents cruise by. We’ve often found turtles here, just casually munching on the corals, and the occasional blacktip reef shark makes an appearance, particularly early in the morning. Keep an eye out for schooling jacks in the bluer water, they can make for a great photo opportunity.
