Thanks to Mike Neumann of Beqa Adventure Divers and here . The fish ID mystery has been solved. It turns out it is a Yellow Spotted Trevally, Carangoides fulvoguttatus (also known as the goldspotted trevally and tarrum) also here.
It is a first for us, but not an uncommon fish.
Thank you Mike, much appreciated.

You're welcome Callan!
ReplyDeleteAlas, I just stumbled upon Carangoides orthogrammus, the Island Jack - and it got yellow dots, too! :(
Over to you!
Mike I think you nailed it, it fits the description to a Tee.
ReplyDeleteThanks again.
Its great that at last it has been solved! Fishing in Dubai is fun
