Site details

Shark's Bay is a sheltered bay north of Naama Bay used both as a shore-access house reef and a boat site. A sandy bay opens onto a coral reef with a canyon and drop-off, suitable for training in the shallows and easy exploration deeper along the wall. Despite the name, it is a calm site rather than a shark hotspot.
