The Red Sea is among the very best places in the world for diving and snorkelling - and if you're in Sharm you really should take a look at the fantastic underwater world... :o) I've written a "things to do" tip on snorkelling, but here I'll add a bit more info about equipment & such, for those of you who haven't snorkelled (much) before... :o) I'm not at all an expert, but I have snorkelled quite a bit, and I do love snorkelling. Also read my "tourist traps"-tip about renting snorkelling gear when going on organised day trips.
If you're renting gear from the dive shops in Sharm, you should know that the quality of the gear they offer is often pretty poor. I always bring my own mask and snorkel, but my friends rented - we tried several dive shops, and weren't too happy with any of them. If you want to enjoy the snorkelling, the gear really is pretty important - the mask should fit properly, so that it doesn't leak. The dive shop staff *should* help you find a mask that fits, but in *all* the places we were they'd just hand over any random mask without checking if it actually fit. How to choose a mask: Hold the mask against your face, it should fit comfortably around your nose and eyes. Inhale through your nose - the vacuum you create inside the mask should hold the mask quite firmly against your face when you take your hand away. If it doesn't, it will leak when you're in the water - you don't want that, so get another mask that actually fits... :o) Ask the staff at the dive shop if you're not sure - they *should* help you! The snorkel: Surprisingly many dive shops had snorkels without a purge valve at the bottom - the purge valve makes the snorkel a lot easier to clear when it's flooded by a wave. (and there can be quite a lot of waves at many snorkelling sites in the Sharm area). I prefer having my own gear, and if you want to buy your own most dive shops will have a good selection. I would not buy the "mask & snorkel" packs you'll find in any supermarket, toy store or souvenir shop - the masks are wrapped in plastic and you can't try them on, so you won't know if it actually fits, and many of these masks aren't made of silicone but pvc - silicone is softer and more comfortable, and it stays soft.

Sharm is one of the best divingspots in the world, and You dont need to dive - snorkelling is perfect here A must link (if You didnt press my link in the beginning):www.sinaidivers.com The link is not a commercial but it has some nice tips an pictures!
You can rent all the equipment here, but I think that buying Your own siliconmask will give a more pleasant trip in the water - It wont leak! And please read this: Damage to these natural treasures is due to actions that may appear to be perfectly normal but in fact can and do have serious consequences. For example, a swimmer, diver or snorkeller resting, standing or walking on a coral surface damages the fragile tissue surface of the coral animal. The coral is then open to bacterial attack and disease, and will often not recover from this impact.

When i was in Sharm i went in Sea trip for about 7 hours in the great red sea . the trip was wonderfull and if you go in group it will be so much joyfull . the activity is after go in the boat about 1 hours they stop the boat and they ask if there any one want to swim for about 30 min and after they came back to move then after 1,5 h they stop again and they swimm again but it,s so good because they stop near land and swim to it and back , it,s for me my first time and wish to do it again , after we move and in this time we have some food and then they stop again to have the most beauty activity , it,s swim again but near the Murjan . so you can see it clearly and you can touch it but it,s dangerous so i didn,t but it was the most wonderfull thing i do it . so after we bach to sharm .
If you didn,t have some equipment for swming under the sea you can rent before the boat move and you can ask the boat manager to bring you some equipment . Theme: Boating/SailingAddress: In Nema Bay AreaDirections: Near Hilnan Hotel about 100 m from it

Great experience of driving a quadrocycle in a desert. This photo I've managed to take by my own - just on stretched arm.
Do not forget to take spectacles and something to cover your face and mouth. Otherwise they will propose to you to buy those kerchieves for $5 each! Leave a Comment Theme: Extreme Sports
