Customers are given information about where to find the various types of water during the dive before boarding the boat, which focuses on the northwest part of the island.
The water here is teeming with all kinds of marine animals in various parts of the island, from green tortoises to large pieces of mackerel, colourful coral reefs, and coral sharks. Take a 4m to 5m dive on the northwest corner of the island, for example, and you’ll see a local electric ray looking under the sand near the anchor line. Continue swimming while keeping the rocks to your left to see moray eels, Arabian boxfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, Sergeant Major, Snapper, Angelfish, and other sea creatures. To up the ante, go diving at night and you might come across a red octopus that isn’t normally seen in this area. The Brain Coral collections can be reached by diving 3m east. If you dive in the afternoon, you might see a tortoise or two resting beneath the base. After the dive, take a shower, sit down, and relax with a cup of hot coffee or tea. The Dive Center’s services are subject to availability. A diving guide or a second dive on the same day costs $13.61. (AED 50). Customers are welcome to bring their own equipment. If not, the service will provide them for a fee.
SNORKELING AND KAYAKING:
Is the impending collapse too much for you? Hire ski equipment at the Beach Hut outside the resort. It is the most cost-effective way to get closer to underwater species without going too deep. Would you like to get closer to the rocks without getting wet? You can rent a kayak, paddleboard, or ZeaSled depending on your preferences.
WATER ACTIVITIES:
There’s something for every adrenaline junkie near Snoopy Island, from banana boats to thrilling cycling and bingo rides. Given the Sandy Beach party, activities like this are a great way for the entire family to make the most of their time on the island’s beach.
