The UAE has intentionally scuttled three decommissioned vessels—Inchcape 1, Inchcape 2, and Inchcape 10—off its east coast to create artificial reefs, combining marine conservation with dive tourism.
Artificial reefs provide hard surfaces and complex structures for corals, sponges, algae, and fish, helping to restore marine ecosystems and build a balanced food web, while diverting diver pressure from natural reefs.
Each wreck offers unique diving experiences: Inchcape 1 (~32m) for experienced divers with snapper and cardinalfish; Inchcape 2 (~22m) for training and photography with parrotfish, morays, boxfish, and rays; Inchcape 10 (~23m) with barracuda and turtles. Access is controlled via licensed dive centres to protect the reefs.
The initiative supports ecotourism and coastal livelihoods, promotes environmental stewardship through diver education, and contributes to citizen science via fish counts, visibility logs, and temperature monitoring to track reef health.
