Entry / access
boat-or-shore

Snoopy Island sits a short swim from the beach at Al Aqah, so it is dived from shore or a quick boat hop. It is a shallow dive, mostly 4–6 m, with the reef starting in a metre or two around the island. Turtles, morays and reef fish stay close in, with the chance of blacktip reef sharks. The island shelters one side from the prevailing wind.
