Fujairah pinnacles reef with soft coral and fish schools
Fujairah pinnacles reef with soft coral and fish schools
Sharm rocks is a Fujairah pinnacle dive built around three rock tops that break the surface and a deeper fourth outcrop that is less often visited. The site gives you a flexible reef route with soft coral, fish schools, and a shallow side that works for snorkelling when conditions are calm. It is an all-level boat dive, but the best runs still come from picking the line that matches the water on the day.
