If you don't swim well
Please tell me - if I swim badly, is it possible to go there from the pontoon to the chest and swim? Not to be deep. Or at first 100 m shallow, and then immediately break?

The water is quite salty and it is quite difficult to drown. The main thing is that there are no sharks nearby.

I haven’t been to this hotel, the pontoons in Egypt always make it so that they have a great depth (many meters) at once, otherwise there is no point in pontoons and with minimal excitement when returning and descending from the pontoon, bathers would be killed and maimed. Water that is salty, that fresh holds equally if a person cannot swim. It can only be advised to buy a life jacket for an adult and hang out in it in the sea with a mask next to the pontoon when there are no waves. Although there are almost always waves on Mars.

If we talk about the open sea, then there is almost always a wave, but in this hotel there is quite a long shallow water up to the pantone up to the chest, it is unrealistic to drown there.

If you don’t swim well, then you don’t need a pontoon - we swam like that in shallow water - the water is like where - from the bones to the chest. If to the left towards the Italian hotel - then the water is higher there

Thanks everyone. What about water temperature? The site says that 26-27 degrees, but on another site I found 20-22 degrees - who's right? I'm going at the end of November

we were on New Year's Eve - it was, let's say, not very warm ... but in principle it didn’t bother, since there is a very large and good beach - you could have a good rest without feeling the tension of the crowd of people and at the same time not necessarily constantly being in the water . To be honest, I would go there again. Yes, there are not super new repairs, etc., but it is very clean and, most importantly, the beach is very pleasing. But it's more of a relaxing holiday. There are no wild entertainments and parties there. Because see what suits you best.

This is what I need - to take a break from family and work - the sea and the beach. I just want to snort. And if the water is not very warm, I will freeze :-)
Not very warm water - how much is that for you?

well, let's just say that for an hour I wouldn't sit there))) I won't say in degrees, I'm not very oriented - but I'm not particularly cold, therefore it's not directly icy. But it was the end of December - the beginning of January. If you eat in November, it will be warmer I think. In addition, when we went to coral gardens, we swam for a very long time. I highly recommend this tour - with a mask, without diving. Very beautiful. Especially the turtles are something. They are just huge.

Thank you. I will definitely go. If you swam on the excursion for a long time, then it's probably not cold :-) And how much does it cost?

You can go to the turtles on your own, without excursions - Abu Dabab Bay, taxi (how you bargain) + entrance to the beach 7 euros. If you are very cold on the territory of the dive center hotel, take a wetsuit for rent and you will be happy.
