dive sites >>>>> Shaab Shear East
The eastern dive site of Shaab Sheer offers calm and comfortable moorings even during stormy and windy conditions. This resting site is popular and regularly frequented by safari boats due to its large, calm and safe mooring. The reef begins only a few centimetres below the surface and at low tide the tops of the coral heads break the surface. Dropping almost vertically down to a sandy plateau in a depth of 18m you will find the remains of a wooden safari boat. Pretty much battered up from the salvage operation that was carried out on her, and bearing the scars of time, this vessel is still very worthwhile to dive. Its not exactly a wreck dive but its the abundant and varied marine life that make this wreck so interesting. Moving on around in a northerly direction will bring you into the canyon, which has evolved over aeons forming nooks, crannies, caves, swim throughs and overhangs. To the north you will find a large hard coral garden. | ||||
