Shaab Bohar Kebir is a boat-access reef in the northern Fury Shoals with east and west sections packed with coral blocks, soft corals, and a broad coral garden. The site is known for reef fish, sharks, and rays, and it rewards slow coverage more than depth alone. The profile is straightforward, but it still asks for steady buoyancy and respect for the reef structure.
