Dive Spot Guide•
Purple Haze
Bandar Khayran wall dive with purple coral.
Channel-start wall dive with coral heads, purple coral deeper down, and a drift profile that rewards tide planning and a clean finish.
About Purple Haze
Purple Haze is a Bandar Khayran wall dive that starts in a channel and then runs along a reef face with coral heads and purple coral deeper down. It is a drift-style site where the tide can sweep you along the wall, so the dive works best when you plan the entry, current direction, and finish carefully. Divers should read the tide before dropping in and keep the route tight so the finish lands on the calmer leeward side instead of fighting the flow.

Local Intel For Purple Haze
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Start inside the channel and then follow the reef face with the tide; the site is a classic drift wall dive with a blue-water look-off.
Freediving
Only experienced freedivers should consider the shallow leeward side; the main wall section is better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
The site is okay for experienced snorkelers on the calmer leeward side, but the drift wall and current make it a poor beginner snorkel.
