Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The Red Sea's coral is fragile; use reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply before entering the water to protect both skin and reef life.
Take a motion‑sickness remedy
Open water and the return leg can be choppy—if you're prone to seasickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before departure.
Use a fitted mask and fins
Even though snorkeling gear is usually provided, a well‑fitting mask and soft fins improve comfort and visibility during multiple reef stops.
