Skawarit is a boat-access reef and wall site located in the Fury Shoal area of Egypt. The topography features a structured hard coral reef and a wall section, with depths typically ranging between 15 and 20 metres. Divers can experience mild currents, making it suitable for intermediate divers to enjoy a drift dive. Visibility varies from 10 to 30 metres depending on the season. Hazards include sharp coral, sea urchins, and the presence of sharks. Maintain neutral buoyancy to avoid contact with the reef and exercise caution when near the substrate, as scorpionfish are well camouflaged within the crevices and ledges.

Drift sections work best when there is some current running, so ask your dive centre about tidal timing before heading out. Keep an eye on the wall base and reef ledges for scorpionfish, which blend almost perfectly into the substrate.
