Shaab Maksur Liveaboard Dive Site

Shaab Maksur is a reef dive in Fury Shoals, Egypt, within an area known for coral gardens, caverns and sheltered reef systems. The precise entry point and route depend on current, weather and the cruise director’s assessment, so an itinerary reference should not be treated as a guarantee that every departure will dive the site.

The most productive side of the reef changes with the water movement. Divers should remain close to the guide, control their depth and be prepared for a negative entry or blue-water pickup where the briefing requires it.

A liveaboard is the practical way to combine this site with several dives across Fury Shoals. Carry a surface marker buoy, follow the boat’s current and pickup procedures and use nitrox only when qualified and after analysing the cylinder. Wildlife encounters and visibility vary naturally and cannot be guaranteed.

Other sites in this part of the itinerary include Sataya Reef and Shaab Claudio. Compare Egypt liveaboards and review the Egypt liveaboard destination guide before choosing an itinerary.

The Shaab Maksur dive site in Egypt is visited by five dive liveaboards. The highest customer-rated liveaboard scores 9.4 out of 10. Prices across these liveaboards start from £72.00.

If you want a more intimate experience, the smallest liveaboard in this selection of the Shaab Maksur dive liveaboards is New Sambo Liveaboard, which has 10 cabins, accommodates up to 20 guests, and is 30 m in length. If you prefer a larger boat, Ocean Lovers Liveaboard, which is 45 m in length, has 16 cabins, and accommodates up to 32 guests.
