Shaab Shona
Why dive here
Shaab Shona 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 Shona is a shallower site, often a second dive for many boats. The main draw here is the chance to encounter Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins and long-beaked dolphins, though they're often passing through rather than resident. It’s a good spot for a relaxed drift or if you're hoping for a pelagic surprise, but don't expect dramatic reef structures.
