UAE West Coast Temperatures

125 min dive this morning, water temp 33C

It was round 80 mins before I found the first seahorse and surprisingly there were two together. Both were roughly 15cm in size, probably the largest I've seen off the beach, most are at best half that size.



Both appeared to be "courting" holding tails at times and swimming around together. I spent roughly 20 mins watching them and taking photos, before heading back to shore.

Returning tomorrow.

1m vis today.

Gave up after 60 mins, no photos.

Vis better today but couldn't find any seahorses.

The current was running under the bridge as the tide was coming in, which proved to be challenging in some spots.

I was also trying out a pair of UTD fins, which were pretty good, and about the same as the Apeks fins I used last Saturday. Both are certainly a lot firmer than my Hollis F2s that I usually use, but slightly heavier.

No seahorses unfortunately but I did come across a pair of cuttlefish, however the focus ring on my lens disengaged (again!) and I only managed a couple of decent shots.



I still need to plan a night dive at this spot soon.

I was trying to get some info about shore diving in Dubai and came across with this forum. I did some day and night dives in La mer and some cleanup dives in JBR. Not impressive but as you mentioned, is cheaper and I don't always have the time to go to Dibba. I will check the Four Seasons spot in few days. thank you for the tip! Lets see if I spot the sea horses .
In la mer got to see cuttlefish hunting during night and the angel fishes and groupers there are very friendly.

I plan to dive the bridge this coming Saturday.

Been away earlier this month diving much clearer waters.

I was planning to dive there on Monday but then I got a new production coming to Korfakkhan that day (I'm a cameraman so is a bit crazy regarding schedules), so I already booked two dives in Dibba for that day. But lets keep in touch, would be amazing to join you for some diving.
Hope is not against the forum rules... If you want you can add me on IG. @sollero
I check it more often
