About Shag Rock (Kingston)
Shag Rock (Kingston) is a boat-dived Red Sea reef-and-wreck site in the Strait of Gubal, where the Kingston wreck sits on a shallow coral slope near Sha'ab Ali. The dive is known for table coral, bright daylight, and a compact route that suits photographers, but it should only be run when current and sea state are favorable. It is a classic liveaboard stop rather than an all-weather drill, with the broader reef extending deeper for teams that want a fuller line.
