Shaab Ambar

Overview

Ambar Reef is a large horseshoe-shaped reef around a lagoon.

Description

It is a massive reef system that stretches for 5 km, with a lagoon in the middle that is ideal for night dives and overnight stays.

At the southeastern end is a very nice plateau, where on the sandy flats, in moderate currents, surgeonfish, hunting barracuda, large tuna, sand eels and small whitetip reef sharks can be found.

At the drop off, if the current allows it, you can see schools of hammerheads and gray reef sharks.
