Hammerhead encounter at 30m was the highlight. The wall is dramatic too.

About this site
A large oval-shaped offshore reef in the Fury Shoals complex, fully exposed to the open sea. The eastern wall drops steeply into the blue and forms a long plateau at 25–30 m where scalloped hammerhead schools cruise in summer. The north and south tips channel strong currents — drift diving is the norm here, with surface marker buoys deployed.
Highlights
- Eastern plateau hammerhead schools — peak Jun–Sep
- Steep walls dropping past 40 m
- Drift diving along the north and south tips
- Reef sharks and eagle rays year-round

You come to Marsa Alam for sites like this. Two sharks on the first dive, three on the second.
