Snorkeling - Sharm el Sheikh, Red Sea | ||
|
Snorkeling in Sharm el Sheikh is very easy and convienient. The nature of the reef system is that the corals come up to the low water mark. Which with a small tidal action of the Red Sea means that it is only about 1 metre below the surface. In most of the area the reef comes right to the shore and most of
the larger hotels have a floating jetty over this shore reef making
access easy. At the end of the shore reef there is normally a wall
reef which goes down to a depth of between 6 metres and 600 metres. |
I know this is a picture of divers, but it shows the shore reef and then the drop off. Clearer ones when I can |
||
| By snorkeling close to the shore reef you will be clear deep water which is full of life. With colourful corals and loads and loads of fish life. | |||
| Before jumping into the water, please have a look at where you are and assess the location with an eye to your own safety. The areas that are on the edges of any bays tend to have currents along them. So don't get to engrossed with the multitude of life you see or too relaxed in the water that you forget to keep an eye on your own safety. | |||
