Snorkeling spots and what you can expect to see:

We do not have a specific snorkeling location in Fujairah because we conduct our tours in different places each day. Our instructor will get in touch with you before your trip date to verify the final location. We go to all snorkeling sites but to give you an idea, here are some commonly visited locations:

Dibba Rock is a small rocky island with long sloping sides that are covered by a reef and surrounded by soft and boulder corals on each side. The sea is shallower on the west side of the rock which is perfect for snorkeling which gives you the opportunity to encounter different species of turtles particularly green turtles and hawksbill. There’s plenty of fish to see here like the clownfish, parrotfish, porcupine pufferfish, bannerfish, double-line fusilier, lionfish, triggerfish, and the jawfish. Keep your eyes open for manta rays, devils rays, spotted eagle rays, dolphins, and blacktip sharks that are also be spotted cruising in these waters. If your timing is right, you might encounter seasonal visitors like whale sharks.

Sharm Rock is noted for its three small outcrops of rocks that peak above the surface. The rocks are covered in soft corals which draw a plethora of marine life, making it a treat for snorkelers. You have a chance to encounter lionfish, boxfish, batfish, bowmouth guitarfish, porcupine fish, and other reef fish. Watch out for other interesting creatures like turtles, morays, and blacktip reef sharks.

Snoopy Island, named after its shape that resembles the famous Peanuts cartoon character, is surrounded by pristine beaches and luxurious resorts. The beautiful reefs brimming with shoals of reef fish are ideal for snorkeling where you can marvel at different kinds of reef fish, turtles, manta rays, stingrays, and blacktip reef sharks.
