Shaab Ishta is a shallow dive site that has a depth between 9 and 12 meters. It encompasses a small erg and a bigger one, divided by a channel, which makes for a sheltered dive spot that is perfect for novice divers.
Here divers can observe coral blocks, turtle grass and table corals, which house all kinds of reef fish, such as angelfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, lionfish, seahorses, stonefish, goatfish, crocodilefish, snappers, barracudas, scorpionfish, bluelined emperors, as well as southern stingrays and turtles.
