Reef Drift
The main reef of Sha'ab Said is split by a canyon that features an amazing coral garden of soft and hard corals. The east side of the reef pitches very steeply and you can rapidly reach 40m depth here. Marine life is abundant, especially on the north plateau, which boasts some spectacular corals.
At the drop-off you will encounter large shoals of fish and the occasional turtle. Make sure to look out to catch a glimpse of white tip and grey reef sharks passing by in the blue. The north plateau is best dived as a drift; however, this is suitable only when the sea is calm.
