Fifi is a submerged
tugboatshipwreck located approximately 8 km (5 mi) east of
Al-Bander resort in
Bahrain.[1] The vessel caught fire and sank in the early 1980s. The ship was owned by Shaheen Bin Saqer bin Shaheen, founder of Awalco Marine. It was named after his only daughter, who was better known as Fifi.[2]
Currently the wreck site is one of the most popular
diving sites in Bahrain. The site is suitable for sport and diving students because the wreck lies in relatively shallow water. The visibility at the wreck site is good, and the currents do not hinder the diving.[2]
