This dive site is the house reef of the Barcelo Tiran Sharm hotel, located north of Sharm el-Sheikh. It's an exceptionally shallow and easily accessible site, ideal for leisurely explorations directly from the shore. Navigation is straightforward due to the minimal depth, making it very safe for new divers and snorkelers.
Despite a very small surface area and a virtual absence of significant coral formations, the reef is teeming with vibrant marine life. Divers and snorkelers can easily observe numerous colorful Red Sea fish species, including beautiful butterflyfish, graceful surgeonfish, distinctive bannerfish, and elegant angelfish.
The house reef is suitable for visiting year-round, with the calm, shallow waters providing consistent conditions. It's particularly recommended for beginners, snorkelers, and those looking for an easy, relaxing introduction to the Red Sea's common fish species without venturing into deeper or more challenging environments.
