TAHA - Fujairah
TAHA is a pretty accessible wreck in Fujairah, sitting upright at around 18 metres. It’s a motor vessel, and while we don’t know exactly how it ended up down there, it certainly makes for an interesting dive. You can explore the exterior, noting the superstructure and cargo holds, which are now home to plenty of reef fish. We’ve spotted large schools of snapper here, along with the occasional moray eel peering from the shadows. It’s a solid dive for those looking to get some wreck time without going too deep, suitable for advanced open water divers who appreciate a good, colonised artificial reef.
