Habili Sama is a Fury Shoals reef with a huge anemone field between two small reef blocks, plus soft corals, table corals, gorgonians, and scattered pinnacles. It is a boat-access site that works well for calm-day scuba, freediving, and snorkeling because the profile stays shallow to moderate and the reef detail is easy to watch. Plan on an open-sea Red Sea reef where boat timing and buoyancy matter more than depth.

Scuba Diving
A shallow-to-moderate profile from about 2–17 m suits longer reef dives focused on the anemone area and pinnacles.
Freediving
The shallow top and broad anemone field make calm-day freediving possible, but the site still rewards scuba more.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling works on calm days over the shallow reef top and anemone field, where the site is easiest to observe.
