The Eco-diving Adventure

Wadi Lahami Dive Sites

If you would like to know how the Red Sea corals looked like 20 years ago, a dive trip to the Fury Shoals will show you just that. Everybody privileged to dive here knows that this reef topography can’t be seen anywhere else in the world. The Fury Shoals can only be described as a labyrinth of sheer coral canyons. Some of the dive sites here are like a maze that you can easily become lost in if you are not careful. The Fury Shoals reef complex covers an area of approximately 60 square kilo-meters and there are over 25 different sites spread out over this area.
