Shaab Sataya Amphoren
Why dive here
Shaab Sataya Amphoren is a wreck 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.
Diving the Amphoren wreck at Shaab Sataya is a pretty relaxed affair. We typically find a good number of cowfish pottering about the deck and around the surrounding reef. The wreck itself isn't huge, but there’s enough structure to poke around, with some interesting nooks and crannies where smaller reef fish like to hide. What really makes this spot though are the dolphins. You often get visits from Indian Ocean bottlenose and even long-beaked dolphins, making for some truly special moments. It’s a good easy dive, especially for those looking for a gentle wreck and a chance at a dolphin encounter.
