Shaab Tiffany

From the neighbouring erg, Shaab Petra, it is possible to swim to Tiffany, a coral block of similar size. Two large blocks, a seagrass bed and several smaller blocks are all within view of one another; it is usually dived as a stationary site, and it suits macro photography. The seagrass can hide ghost pipefish and seahorses, and there are octopuses, including the day octopus, as well as squid and shrimp.

In March 2022, a dive at the site showed very beautiful corals and lots of fish, with blue-spotted rays, triggerfish, lionfish and yellow-mouthed morays. In March 2023, divers were greeted on the descent by a white-spotted pufferfish, a dwarf lionfish and a school of yellow jacks. On the same dive, a barracuda, a feathertail stingray, an electric ray, a humpback scorpionfish and pipefish turned up. On the Magawish plateau, at Shaab Eshta and Shaab Tiffany, the highlights in February 2024 were small shrimp and many schooling fish. In September 2024, a dive recorded two gold-spotted morays, goatfish, a huge mackerel, a crocodile fish and lionfish.
