Martini Rock is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. This dive site has an average rating of 3.50 out of 5 from 10 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 61-70ft/19-21m. The average visibility is 11-15ft/3-5m.
Underwater rock with mooring line to sandy rock bottom at 12M. Top of rock around 3-5M depending on tides, good for a safety stop if you cannot relocate the mooring line. Deepest part is around 19M.
Rock is full of clefts and fissures with some various scattered larger rocks around the shallower area.
Lots of soft Dendronephthia corals as well as blue and green whip corals. Plenty of red tooth trigger fish, sergeant majors, schooling snapper and gill raker mackerel, total awesome if you do have good visibility. many scorpionfish and moray eels. Check out the bottom for Goby / Shrimp symbiosis and the occasional large pipe fish. There are usually several Broomtail Wrasse and they can be quite inquisitive, I have had one follow me around on more than one occasion. A few lion fish here too. Occasionally you might come across a turtle or ray.
Good site for a beginner
The visibility was not very good. We saw squid, turtles and we were keeping an eye out for sharks which like to swim in these waters but did not spot any. The Whale Shark likes these waters a lot and in the summer you can see them.
