The day opens with marina wind and the creak of a dive boat as it slips off Sharm El Sheikh’s pier, the Red Sea spreading turquoise and deep indigo under a bright sky. Divers and snorkelers trade city heat for salt spray; the boat thumps a steady rhythm toward Ras Mohammed, where reef walls fall away into clear water and currents bring life in swells.

Arrive Early for Calm Seas
