Shoal or shoal means a shallow part of a river or body of water, often where a sand bank or land is exposed at low tide--
There is a shoal here when the tide is out, too shallow for a boat to cross.
They ran the boat onto a shoal, and waited for the tide to come in.
Sheol or sheol ( pronounced to nearly rhyme with shoal ) means the abode of the dead; hell--
"All your pomp is brought down to Sheol..."
"Her house is the way to sheol, descending to the chambers of death..."
Now that you know that, you can say--
"Their boat capsized when it hit a shoal, and the sudden plunge into the water seemed like a descent into sheol."
