Sunsplash Housereef - Dahab

Sunsplash Housereef sits right off the shore in Dahab, an easy entry for a casual dive. We’ve found the best time to drop in is early morning, before the day boats stir things up too much. You’ll weave through some respectable table and staghorn corals, keeping an eye out for the small giant clams tucked into crevices. It’s a solid spot for a relaxed shallow dive, especially if you’re keen on spotting the African eel blennies darting amongst the coral heads. While not an epic drift, it’s a good little house reef for warming up or unwinding.
