Is snorkeling equipment provided?

Most tours include masks, snorkels and fins; confirm with the operator if you prefer your own gear or need youth sizes.

History

Hurghada evolved from small Red Sea fishing settlements into a major diving and resort hub in the late 20th century, attracting international snorkelers drawn to its clear seas and coral reefs.

Conservation

The Red Sea’s reefs are resilient but sensitive; choose operators that follow no-touch policies, avoid anchoring on coral, and promote reef-safe sunscreen to reduce impact.

Adventure tips

Bring a snug maskA well-fitting mask prevents leaks and fogging during multiple snorkel stops; bring a backup if you have one.

Use reef-safe sunscreenApply reef-safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply sparingly to protect coral and marine life.

Hydrate and pace yourselfFull-day trips are eight hours—drink water regularly and rest between swims to avoid fatigue.

Protect your cameraUse a secure waterproof case or float strap for cameras and phones to avoid losing gear overboard.

Recommended gear

Mask and snorkel: A well-fitting mask and snorkel increase comfort and let you spend more time observing reef life.
Fins: Fins improve control and efficiency when swimming between bommies and keep you from tiring quickly.
Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects your skin and reduces harmful chemicals entering sensitive coral ecosystems.
Waterproof camera or case: Capture underwater encounters without risking your phone or camera—use a float strap for safety.
