Shaab Maksour South
Why dive here
Shaab Maksour South 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 South is a good drift dive. We often find ourselves gliding past a vibrant reef wall here, spotting cowfish hugging the coral. It’s also a frequent hangout for various dolphin species; we’ve had some memorable encounters with both bottlenose and bridled dolphins. This site suits divers who enjoy a relaxed drift and the chance for larger pelagic sightings.
