You step off the boat and the Red Sea answers with living color — corals splay like city blocks and small fish flash through sunlit columns. The boat hums gently as guides sort fins and masks; the air tastes of diesel, sea salt and sunscreen. Ras Mohamed National Park unfolds as a compact edge of Sinai where coral gardens give way to drop-offs that dare you to look deeper.

Use a fitted mask
A well-sealed mask prevents frequent surface stops and keeps your focus on the reef; test it in calm water before heading out.
Choose reef-safe sunscreen
Apply broad-spectrum, biodegradable sunscreen before boarding to protect coral and avoid reapplying in the water.
Floatation for drift zones
Bring or request a snorkel vest if you’re not confident in currents—some sites have mild to moderate drift.
Protect valuables on board
Store phones and wallets in a zippered dry bag and leave non-essentials on the boat while you swim.
Mask & snorkel
A properly fitting mask and dry-top snorkel make long swims more comfortable and efficient.
Fins
Fins boost propulsion for covering reef areas and help counter mild currents.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects both your skin and the coral ecosystem; apply before boarding.
