About Inchcape 1
Inchcape 1 is Fujairah’s big artificial-reef wreck, a deliberately sunk former U.S. support vessel that now sits as a deep advanced dive off Al Aqah. The wreck rewards a planned descent and a steady team: the structure is broad, the marine growth is heavy, and the best runs come when the boat, gas plan, and current all line up. It is a serious wreck dive rather than a casual sightseeing stop, so conditions, training, and operator guidance matter.
