Fury Shoals Dive Site

The Fury Shoals make up several reefs along the Southwest Red Sea coast, offering amazing scuba diving opportunities with some of the most pristine reefs in Egypt. The hard and soft coral are unspoiled and are a highlight of many dive sites such as the Fury Shoal Garden.

The marine life is also really great with all the usual reef fishes of the Red Sea and various species of reef Sharks (Whitetip, Grey) and even sometimes the curious Oceanic Whitetip Shark. Pelagic fishes such Barracudas, Giant Trevallies, Dogtooth Tunas are also common in the area.

Various kinds of dive sites are available depending on what you fancy (or what gets your heart rate going!): fringing reefs, lagoons, drop-offs or wrecks are some of the options so you certainly won’t get bored here diving amongst these magnificent coral formations. A very famous dive site in The Fury Shoals is called the Dolphin Reef (Sha’ab Sataya). A pod of Dolphins is living there and can be often spotted while scuba diving or Snorkelling like on this video:

The Fury Shoals is a great diving spot if you want to avoid the crowded dive sites of the Northern Red Sea and if you look for pristine reefs with superb coral.

The Fury Shoals are located in front of Wadi Lahami South of Marsa Alam and North of Ras Banas. It is possible to dive Fury Shoals from Marsa Alam on a day trip or from Hamata. Several liveaboards also explore these wonderful reefs.
