Best treated as a boat dive through a liveaboard or day boat.
Shaab Hamam, Fury Shoal is a boat-accessed reef system built around four small reefs linked by canals, with a canyon-and-coral-garden profile and a striking arch framed by black corals. It suits divers who want a route-shaped Red Sea dive rather than a flat wall, with room to work through the saddle, keep buoyancy tight, and look for whitetip reef sharks, gray reef sharks, barracudas, blue-spotted stingrays, anthias, clownfish, lionfish, and moray eels.
