Smirnoff Bay - Fujairah
Smirnoff Bay is one of those reliable Fujairah sites that just hits the spot for a relaxed dive. We’ve found it’s best suited for intermediate divers looking for a straightforward reef experience. You'll drop down to around 22 meters, exploring a scattering of coral bommies that draw in plenty of smaller reef fish. Keep an eye out for moray eels tucked into crevices, and we’ve often spotted stingrays resting on the sandy patches between coral. It’s a pleasant spot for two dives, especially if you’re looking to unwind without battling strong currents.
