Dive-site story
Martini Rock is a submerged rock formation off the coast of Fujairah, taking its name from its distinctive profile resembling a martini glass on side-scan sonar. The main pinnacle rises from a sandy seabed to just beneath the surface, surrounded by smaller boulders, crevices, and dense patches of soft and hard coral that attract diverse marine life from the Gulf of Oman.
Submerged pinnacles and scattered rock outcroppings with abundant soft coral growth
Regular encounters with green and hawksbill sea turtles feeding along the reef
Sheltered crevices harboring multiple moray eel species and macro critters
