The wreck of Inchcape 1 is one of the UAE’s most beloved dive sites! Before becoming part of the East Coast’s flourishing marine ecosystem, this majestic ship was formally known as Grey Swift 2 when in service as a crew/supply transport vessel for the oil industry.

The wreck of Inchcape 1 is one of the UAE’s most beloved dive sites! Before becoming part of the East Coast’s flourishing marine ecosystem, this majestic ship was formally known as Grey Swift 2 when in service as a crew/supply transport vessel for the oil industry.
Built in the USA back in the early 70s, it was soon shipped to the UAE to begin service with Inchcape Shipping, originally in RAK then later in Dubai and Fujairah. In 2001, the ship was decommissioned and purposely sunk as an artificial marine habitat. The wreck now rests 30 m down on the sandy bottom, positioned upright almost perfectly on its keel. The 18m long metallic structure has since transformed into a colourful artificial reef that supports an abundance of marine life!
