About This Dive Spot
The Zaida Wreck is a dhow that sank in 2004 while carrying a cargo of sand. Six months after the sinking, it was observed that the wreck had already attracted a variety of marine life. To enhance the dive experience, two additional wrecks were intentionally sunk nearby. Divers can expect to see a diverse array of fish species, including scorpion fish, moray eels, crocodile fish, stone fish, schools of snapper, barracuda, tazard, and jackfish. The site is accessible from the shore, making it convenient for divers to explore the underwater environment.
