Why dive here
Shaab Hamam, Fury Shoal is a reef 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.
Shaab Hamam is a gentle introduction to the Fury Shoal system, an easy drift dive along a wall that rarely pushes past 21 meters. We often find the visibility here can be superb, letting you really appreciate the big table corals and the shoals of snapper that hug the reef face. It's a relaxed spot, perfect for getting comfortable in the water or for divers who want a more mellow experience without having to think too much about tricky currents. You'll likely see a few inquisitive reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections and plenty of bannerfish flitting about.
