The sun rises over Hurghada and the Red Sea pushes a cool salt breeze across the deck as the boat slips away from the marina. Within an hour the shoreline thins to a distant line and the water opens, daring you into clear, warm seas where coral bommies and shallow reefs sit like islands of life beneath the surface.

Protect your skin and reef

Bring your own mask if you can
Quality rented masks are provided, but a well-fitting personal mask improves comfort and visibility for prolonged snorkeling.
