KhorFakkan offers epic boat dives that are frequently utilised as part of the Open Water Course. It is a key location for local diving and is often a destination for organised New Year's trips.
Sharm El-Sheikh is a premier international destination accessible through the centre's organised trips. The area is defined by its colourful coral reefs and a high density of tropical fish.
And some of the dive sites the centre runs.
The marine life in the region is diverse, with many divers encountering yellowtail barracudas and various species of Snapper (Lutjanus) patrolling the reefs. You will often see larger pelagics such as trevally and Jack (Carangidae) moving through the water column.
On the reef structures, look for Batfish (Platax) and various types of Ray (Batoidea) resting on the seabed. The ecosystem is supported by healthy populations of oysters and a wide variety of juvenile fish inhabiting the smaller crevices.
The seabed and reef flats provide a rich habitat for a variety of smaller creatures, making it an interesting area for those who enjoy observing the nuances of the local marine biology.
