Why dive here
Sharm rocks is a dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-34°C, warmest July, August, September.
Sharm Rocks is a solid spot for a chilled-out dive in Fujairah. It’s pretty shallow, topping out at 12 metres, which makes it ideal for newer divers or anyone looking for a relaxed bottom time. The site is mostly rocky, with plenty of nooks and crannies for smaller reef fish to hide in. We’ve seen moray eels peeking out, and occasionally a turtle cruising by. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant dive, unhurried and easy to navigate.
