About this site
Catalog

Sha'ab Claudia is a round reef in the heart of Fury Shoals renowned for a labyrinth of shallow caves, swim-throughs and canyons where shafts of sunlight pierce holes in the ceilings to create spectacular light shows. The cave system is simple and safe, sitting in shallow water with openings that prevent disorientation. Massive coral pillars and clouds of glassfish make it a photographer's favourite.
