Morning light slices the Sinai escarpment as a low, stable boat cuts into the Tiran Strait. Salt stings briefly on lips; beneath, coral gardens fan out in hard angles and bright tongues of color. Guides check masks and point toward a shallow bommie where parrotfish graze and trays of lunch wait back on deck — a day measured in breath and buoyancy.

Take seasickness prevention
If you’re sensitive to motion, take antiemetic medication before departure and choose a mid-boat seat.
