About Cut Wreck
Cut Wreck is Bahrain's signature shallow reef wreck: the remains of the Hijaz, a commercial vessel that grounded on Fasht Al Adhm reef and was later stripped by salvagers. It is typically reached by boat and is known for easy surface viewing, steady marine life, and a relaxed profile for snorkelers and newer divers.
