About House reef
House Reef is a very shallow shore-entry reef in the Koh Lipe area, built for easy access, calm-water practice, and close-up viewing of coral and common tropical fish in a relaxed setting. It is best treated as an introductory site for first dives, refreshers, snorkeling, or slow observation sessions rather than as a deep-profile dive.
