    Takht-e Jamshid, or ‘Persepolis’, is a shallow wreck that’s perfect for new divers finding their fins in Fujairah. At a maximum depth of 6m, it’s a calm introduction to wreck diving, with plenty of light filtering down. We often spot juvenile barracuda hanging out in the superstructure, and if you look closely, there are usually some inquisitive moray eels peeking out from the darker corners. It's a great spot for practicing buoyancy and getting comfortable in the water, without the added pressure of strong currents or deeper depths.
