About this site
Shaab Claude is a chain of small coral pinnacles and bommies lying just south of the eastern end of Shaab Sheer, with a maximum depth around 18 m. The reefs are dotted with caves and grottoes sheltering snappers, bannerfish, unicornfish and turtles, while strong currents can rip through the channels. Its modest depth makes it accessible, but the drift demands good buoyancy.
