A low, glassy sea stretches from Sharm’s harbor as the boat slips past painted buoys and low cliffs; the sun presses warm on the deck while guides ready masks and fins. Within an hour the shoreline peels away and White Island appears—a pale crescent of sand and coral—then the boat eases into the clearer, reef-studded water of Ras Mohamed National Park.

Secure motion-sensitive items
Bring a small dry bag and secure phones/cameras; the boat has sheltered storage but decks can be wet and slippery.
