Great coral reef with cave system to dive through
Fury Shoals · Boat Dive
Sha'ab Claudio
A shallow Fury Shoals reef famous for its cathedral-like caves and tunnels carved into the limestone plateau at 6–14 m. Several long swim-throughs cut right through the reef and emerge on the seaward side, where light shafts from the surface form columns through the cave interiors — Sha'ab Claudio is regularly cited as one of the most photogenic shallow dives in the southern Red Sea.
