About this site
Catalog

Shaab Sheer is a horseshoe-shaped reef over a kilometre long, its northern end forming a magnificent hard coral garden of brain and table corals from 5 to 30 m. The sheltered interior suits all levels, while the north side can carry a strong current that draws triggerfish, parrotfish, jacks and Spanish mackerel. It is a versatile site often combined with a Salem Express trip.
