Why dive here
Shark Island is a dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-34°C, warmest July, August, September.
Shark Island, just off Fujairah, is a reliable spot for encountering blacktip reef sharks in the UAE. The site has a maximum depth of around 16 meters, making it suitable for newer divers and those looking for a relaxed dive. We’ve often seen turtles here, along with moray eels tucked into the rock crevices. It’s a solid choice for a multi-tank day trip.
