Dive-site story
Rising out of the Arabian Sea southwest of Grande Island, Sail Rock is an angled rock formation whose protruding tip resembles a wind-filled sail. Underwater, the pinnacle slopes down across broken boulders and granite shelves before meeting a flat sandy sea floor. The open location invites steady water movement, bringing in schooling pelagics and predatory fish alongside sheltering reef dwellers.
