Jackfish Corner
Boat-access island dive near Khasab with strong current.

About Jackfish Corner
Jackfish Corner is a boat-access island dive off Khasab with a deep, current-sensitive profile that suits experienced scuba divers. The route works along coral-covered slopes and ledges rather than a simple flat reef, so buoyancy and timing matter. Expect strong water movement and regular sightings of barracuda, eagle rays, and nudibranchs.
