Dibba Rock

Dibba Rock sits in the emirate of Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman coast, a dramatic submerged pinnacle rising from 30 metres to just 3 metres below the surface and encrusted in lush soft corals and sea fans. Reef sharks patrol the outer walls while schools of batfish hover in mid-water and moray eels peer from every crack. The site benefits from Oman Sea conditions — notably better visibility and richer marine life than the enclosed Gulf — and is the best dive within day-trip distance of Dubai.
