About this site
The Zainab wreck lies off the coast of the United Arab Emirates in the Gulf, in the wider Abu Dhabi to Dubai coastal waters, and is generally reached by boat from marinas along this stretch. It sits on a wreck bottom to a maximum depth of around 20 metres and is rated an advanced dive. Barracuda are common around the wreck, and divers have also reported batfish and snapper here. Currents at the site can run strong, so conditions are worth checking before the dive.
