This dive site, the housereef of The Three Corners Sea Beach Resort, offers accessible diving directly from the shore in Egypt. It features a main reef structure that begins at 12 meters and gently slopes down, characterized by a gradual degradation and several scattered pinnacles, providing varied topography for exploration. Navigation is generally straightforward due to the minimal current, making it an ideal spot to explore the Red Sea's vibrant underwater world at a relaxed pace.
The reef is teeming with a diverse array of marine life, including graceful rays, the striking lion fish, camouflaged stone fish, colorful butterfly fish, intriguing moray eels, and the elusive Spanish dancers. Divers can also encounter puffers, anemone fish nestled among their host anemones, and diligent cleaner shrimp. The site is particularly noted for its abundance of beautiful hard corals, which form the foundation of this thriving ecosystem.
The best time to visit the Red Sea for diving is generally year-round, with optimal conditions from March to May and September to November, offering pleasant water temperatures and excellent visibility. This housereef is highly suitable for both snorkelers and freedivers, thanks to its shallow average depth and rich marine biodiversity easily observable near the surface. Its calm conditions and moderate depths make it an excellent choice for beginner divers, while more experienced divers can enjoy exploring the deeper sections and pinnacles.
