Shaab Maksour North
Why dive here
Shaab Maksour North is a wall 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 Maksour North is a solid drift dive when the current is running, which it often is. We’ve found good numbers of bottlenose and long-beaked dolphins here, particularly in the mornings. It’s a good spot for competent divers looking for pelagics, though the reef itself is fairly standard for the area. Don't expect huge coral formations, but keep your eyes on the blue.
