Why dive here
Fury Shoals is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, humpback whales, oceanic whitetip sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 23-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
Fury Shoals isn't just one spot, it's a collection of around 20 reefs stretching out for 30 kilometers south of Marsa Alam. We’ve always found this area offers a nice mix, from shallow, sheltered coral gardens that are perfect for a relaxed drift, to deeper walls where the currents pick up and you’ve got a better chance of seeing bigger pelagics cruise by. There’s even a couple of smaller wrecks scattered about if you fancy a peek inside. Sha'ab Claudio, particularly, stands out with its tunnels and sunbeams. It's a great choice for a day trip, whether you're easing into Red Sea diving or looking for something a bit more varied.
