The housereef of Gorgonia offers a beautiful dive typical of the reef of the southern Red Sea’

Close to the entry point the reef reaches down to a coral garden plateau starting from 12 meters and sloping out to 35 meters and more.
Hard and soft corals in many colors give home to a wide range of fish life from the small bright anthias to large baraccuda, turtles to sting rays, not forgetting the anenomies and ‘nemo’s’ (clown fish), with a little luck reef sharks can be seen on the deeper part of the plateau.
Guided dives are available on the housereef. After completing a check dive, divers can dive as buddy teams without guide if preffered (divers must be properly equipped and have a minimum of 20 logged dives), buddy pairs diving without a guide myst be equiped with a delayed SMB (surface marker buoy).
Dives are possible on the north and south sides. The entry jetty allows for diving at all times of the day.

This huge pinnacle rises up from around 100 meters, its possible to circle the entire pinnacle in about 30 minutes. Due to its deep drop offs its a dive for the more advanced, but well worth the visit, it is one of the best places to spot sharks, its possible to encounter grey reef sharks, thresher sharks and even oceanic white tips, but most of all its famous for hammerheads, sometimes a group of up to 50 hammerheads can be seen!
