About this site
Utopia Housereef Northcave sits along the Red Sea coast in the Qoseir area of Egypt's Red Sea Governorate, a stretch of coastline south of Hurghada known for its fringing reef systems close to shore. This is the house reef of a resort in the area, accessed directly from land rather than by boat, with reef flats leading out to steeper drop-offs typical of this part of the Red Sea. It reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres and is rated a beginner dive, making the shore entry and shallower reef sections an easy option for those staying nearby.
