Shark Island

Beautiful dive with lovely rich orange soft coral everywhere and some deep purple and bright yellow soft coral as well. Every other metre you see something interesting, starting with cuttlefish on the sand, nudibranchs, lionfish, scorpionfish, puffer and burrfish, snappers, broomtail wrasse, and geometric and yellow-margined morays. You can dive round the rock, which is supposed to be like a martini glass on its side, starting off at about 12 metres, moving to 20 and then going back to shallower again. On the first dive we saw a turtle as well. Wonderful for photography, even though visibility isn't brilliant. Water was 26 degrees in early April when we were there. We dived with Al Boom diving based at the Meridien Al Aqah Hotel.

Dibba Rock is a great training site – but that does not limit it to new divers. Experienced divers can practice buoyancy in water 3 or 4 metres deep. It is a great way to keep your skills sharp.

Possible to see Arabian Angelfish, Sea Turtel, Butterflyfishn and many different kinds of fish as well as the odd black tip reef shark that cruise the reefs.

Turtles often sleep in the area, but don't try to wake them. It is dangerous for the turtle. Look out for "jawfish" (goby) with their big eyes, heads and mouths – they are not exactly pretty. And the clownfish are fun to watch, but very protective and like to bash your mask as a warning to stay away.

It's a shallow dive site & a Marine reserve.



Dibba Rock is also known as Dibba Island.
