Shark’s Bay

★★★★☆ (4,017)

Shark’s Bay is one of the most common dive sites in SSH. The bay formation and it’s easy access attract snorkelers and divers of all levels. The gentle sloping bottom makes it perfect for conducting courses. A dive to the north or to the south reef can be done; both are great dives.

The location is rich with red sea marine life including blue spotted rays, crocodile fish, moray eels, pufferfish, and, when you are lucky, an eagle ray swimming out in the blue.
