About Sha'ab Quais

Meaning Good Reef ! This reef is well known and considered to be the best soft coral reef in the Red Sea. And this is really not a understatement. Here you will also find a series of 2 coral pinnacles rising from a sandy bottom in 35 meters to just below the surface. Rich in coral gardens and abundant marine life of all shapes and sizes. Due to changing currents and unpredictable depths, this site is recommended for intermediate to advanced level divers only.
