Dibba Rock is a shallow reef dive, around 16 m at most, ringed by coral where clownfish, turtles and small reef sharks are regular sightings. Conditions are usually gentle, which makes it a popular site for newly certified divers, night dives and snorkellers. Visibility is modest by Red Sea standards and thermoclines can occur.
