Why dive here
Zighy Bay is a reef dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-34°C, warmest July, August, September.
Zighy Bay in Fujairah offers a gentle introduction to the region's diving. It’s a shallow reef, topping out at nine metres, making it ideal for those just getting their fins wet or divers looking for a relaxed, slow-paced time underwater. We've often spotted groups of snapper cruising past, and there’s usually a decent number of clownfish tucked into their anemones, along with the occasional moray eel peering out from the coral. It’s not a drift dive by any stretch, so you can really take your time exploring the nooks and crannies without feeling rushed.
