Shab Disha

Overview

Sha'ab Disha is a dive site that perfectly captures the quintessential beauty of a Red Sea coral reef. The name "Sha'ab" simply means "reef," and this site is a flawless example: a vibrant, sprawling garden teeming with life. It's not famous for one single feature, but for its consistent quality, health, and the sheer diversity of fish it supports. It's a reliable, beautiful, and thoroughly enjoyable dive for everyone.

The Dive Plan and Experience
The dive at Sha'ab Disha is a wonderfully flexible exploration. It can be performed as a relaxed tour around the large, main reef block or as a gentle one-way drift along the edge of the sprawling coral garden. This adaptability makes it a perfect choice for any day. Your dive will be spent admiring the healthy hard coral formations and searching the reef for its many inhabitants, from moray eels peeking out of holes to camouflaged scorpionfish resting on ledges.

The calm conditions and clear layout provide an excellent environment for divers to build confidence after their PADI Open Water Diver course. It's also a fantastic place to hone your observation skills and is a great location for the AWARE - Fish Identification specialty. Mastering your hovering with the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course will help you get the most out of exploring this rich environment.
