About Shabha
Shabha is a shallow reef block south of El Gouna with a short boat run, an easy loop, and east-side pinnacles. The reef rewards slow, careful swimming with reef fish and macro life across the top and slope, making it a relaxed Red Sea boat dive rather than a rushed pass. Because the site is compact and shallow, the best dive plan is a measured circuit with steady buoyancy, a calm turn point, and enough time to look into the blocks and sandy edges.
