The boat slips away from Hurghada’s pier as the morning sun opens across the Red Sea. Salt and engine oil mix with the sound of gulls — instructors call out final checks while the surface glitters like glass. By the time the anchor drops, the reef is visible beneath you: a living wall of color that seems to breathe.

Attend the briefing
The safety and navigation briefing explains depth limits, hand signals and current-awareness — missing it reduces safety and enjoyment.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral and avoid applying large amounts immediately before entering the water.
Prepare for seasickness
Take anti-nausea meds beforehand if you’re prone to motion sickness; the return trip can be choppy.
Stay hydrated and layer up
Bring water and a light windbreaker for the ride back; sun on the deck dries you out faster than you expect.
Personal mask and snorkel
A well-fitting mask improves comfort and visibility during surface and shallow dives.
Fins (open-heel or full-foot)
Efficient fins reduce effort and help you control position near delicate corals.
Light wetsuit (3mm)
