    Shushah Island sits close to shore, a sheltered spot ideal for newer divers or refreshers. We find a shallow sandy bottom at 12 meters, dotted with small coral patches. Look out for juvenile reef fish darting around, along with the occasional blue-spotted stingray resting on the sand. It’s a calm, easy dive for building confidence.
