A soft sea breeze lifts the boat’s shade as the engine slows and the Red Sea opens into Marsa Mubarak’s clear blue. Sunlight shards cut through warm water; a colony of corals sits like a submerged garden and small reef fish dart in practiced choreography. On a good day a slow-moving sea turtle will glide by as if inspecting a passing visitor, and with rare luck a dugong — the sea’s gentle grazer — may appear, pushing grass with deliberate, patient strokes.

Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding and reapply from a dry towel to protect coral and marine life.
Secure your mask and fins
Bring a well‑fitted mask or use the provided one; loose gear increases fatigue and risks losing equipment in currents.
Boat deck hydration
Carry a refillable bottle and drink between snorkeling sessions — the sun and salt dehydrate quickly on open water.
Respect wildlife distance
Don’t chase or touch turtles and never attempt to ride them; stay still and let animals approach if curious.
Mask and snorkel
A well‑fitting mask improves visibility and comfort during reef swims.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
