Housereef directly in front of Utopia Beach Club / Pensee south of El Quseir, Egypt. Shallow inside part, great for snorkeling, training and night dives. Fairly protected from waves and currents. Sandy bottom with coral blocks. Many holes and caverns in the reef.

The house reef at the Silver Beach Boutique Hotel is accessible via a jetty approximately 200 metres long and is a beautiful drop-off with stunning hard and soft corals. Small crevices in the reef and small coral blocks make it a very attractive dive site at various depths – ranging from 5 to 30 metres.
