About Shaab Bohar Soraya
Shaab Bohar Soraya is a smaller Fury Shoals reef with coral blocks, soft-coral cover, and a plateau-like main section that suits relaxed boat dives. The east side is the sweet spot, while cracks, crevices, and nearby pinnacles hold plenty of reef life; it is a good all-level outing when the sea is settled and the flow is manageable.
