Sightings are seasonal probabilities, not promises - even in peak season nature does its own thing.
Certification & difficulty
Advanced Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.
Snorkelling
Not a snorkel site - Not viable/not offered - the wreck sits at approximately 20m, too deep to see or access by snorkeling; this is a scuba-only attraction
Safety notes
Offshore boat-only access dependent on sea conditions; minimum Advanced Open Water certification enforced due to depth (~20m); tidal currents in the wider area; standard wreck-site hazards (entanglement/silt) though this is marketed as an exterior wreck dive rather than a penetration dive
Permits & fees
No separate public entry permit/fee found; access is restricted to authorized, registered dive operators only (reported as three registered centers: Dive Vision, ScubaLife/Experience Bahrain, Scubamaster) who arrange the trip; typical 2-tank dive with lunch priced around US $100
Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
