About this site

Sha'ab Malahi, whose name means 'playground', is a rugged reef riddled with canyons, caverns and swim-throughs winding between massive coral blocks at an average depth of around 20 metres. Divers weave through the maze with vertical walls of coral rising on both sides, illuminated by light beams from above. Healthy hard coral and resident reef fish make it a fun, scenic exploration dive.
