Hotel-front house reef with easy jetty access.
The Breakers House Reef South, Soma Bay is a hotel-front Red Sea house reef reached by a long jetty. The site is easy to use but feels more exposed when wind, swell, or shifting current pick up. It suits divers, snorkelers, and freedivers, with shallow entry water, a deeper reef slope farther out, and regular reef fish, rays, barracuda, and moray eels.
