About this site

Marsa Shagra House Reef is a fringing house reef located at Marsa Shagra on Egypt's southern Red Sea coast, described as one of the richest and most pristine house reefs in the region. The reef reaches a maximum depth of 52.5 metres and is rated as technical in difficulty.

Entry is directly from shore, with zodiacs available to assist divers on the house reef. All visiting divers complete a mandatory guided orientation dive on arrival, after which certified divers may dive unguided within their certification limits for the remainder of their stay. Diving runs across six different profiles, with early morning dives from 06:00 and night dives available until 20:00, timing depending on season.

Marine life recorded at the site includes dolphins, Indian mackerel, and turtles sighted during night dives. The verified species list for the site also includes octopus, moray eels, bluespotted stingrays, blotched stingrays, whale sharks, spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and juvenile fish.
