Eagle Fish is a dive site in Red Sea, Middle East.

Eagle Fish is a dive site recorded at coordinates 24.205°N, 35.553°E, placing it in the Fury Shoals / Hamata area of the southern Red Sea — in the same general reef chain as Shaab Bohar Kebir and other Fury Shoals sites. The name may refer to the eagle rays (Aetobatus narinari) that are commonly sighted throughout the Fury Shoals and broader Marsa Alam reef system.

No site-specific dive sources were located for Eagle Fish. The following reflects the general character of the Fury Shoals reef complex at this location.

The Fury Shoals reefs at this latitude feature coral gardens, pinnacles, and outer walls descending from shallow reef tops (3–10 m) to 25+ m. Eagle rays, whitetip reef sharks, and schools of snapper are typical of the area. Dive access is by boat from Hamata (approximately 1 hour) or from liveaboards covering the Fury Shoals route.
