The day begins at the marina in Hurghada: engines hum, sun lifts off the horizon and the Red Sea opens like a blue road ahead. The boat slips past low rocky islands, the water changing from turquoise to cobalt where coral gardens rise. Onboard guides brief the group, and by the first snorkel stop the sea is already daring you—clear enough to count stripes on a fish and see coral shapes moving with the current.
