About This Dive Spot
Woodhouse Reef is the longest of the four primary reefs in the Straits of Tiran, accessible by boat. This site features a notable split in the middle, and divers should exercise caution towards the reef's end due to potential strong currents and a washing machine effect. The reef is rich in color and biodiversity, with typical Red Sea fish species present. Divers may also encounter eagle rays, turtles, and large tuna. During the summer months, sightings of hammerhead and reef sharks can occur.
