Can I shoot underwater? How often does it storm in early October?
I want to shoot underwater, (snorkeling) the hotel has not yet been chosen, but most likely there will be no bay or lagoon. Reviews are frightening that it is rarely calm due to the open sea. Who has been to Marsa Alam in early October? Especially those who filmed under water, will it be possible to take pictures with a red flag? (Pictures are not for amateur album)

---, but most likely there will be no bay or lagoon--
And why? We rested in Marsa Bay in May, one day it was impossible to see anything because of the turbidity - there was a storm, and at that time there was a red flag in other hotels.

(Pictures are not for an amateur album) - And for what?

If not for an amateur album, on the high seas - then diving! Waves are not felt underwater.

Last year there were 14 days at the end of September-beginning of October. Resta Grand on the open sea. Story. The energy of the open sea is completely different than that of the lagoons. The black flag was only on the day (night) of arrival. the rest of the time: before lunch - white, after lunch - red. (I can’t say anything about photography - I’m not a pro.) At the beginning of September (there were acquaintances) out of 7 days - 6 days there was a WAVE, they had to go to Hamata, to the bays. So it's a matter of chance. Or good luck.

Filmed with a red flag and a photo, and a form, without problems. True filmed for amateur purposes. The main thing is to successfully sail away and moor to the stairs, so that they don’t hit it.

choose either Iberotel (next to Resta Reef and Resta Grand) - there is a group of hotels in a small bay, there are no waves, there is fish.
Or a hotel near the Abu Dabab reserve. in my opinion there is a hotel Sol y Mar Abu Dabab / there is a lagoon, turtles and sea cows. By the way, from the same Resta Reef and Resta Grand 15 minutes drive. you can get there by hotel transport, you can book an excursion, swim and take pictures.

The sea cow has long been absent from Abu Dababa. She left in an unknown direction.
Swimming in the bay is great.
аватар ShiShi-ga
I saw a sea cow personally in Abu Dabab) however, once.
turtles, of course, more))

The author of the question "holds his breath"?

Shishi-ga, the dugong "went to a distant cordon." She has not been in Abu Dabbab for a long time ...
аватар ShiShi-ga
papa74, how long is this? I saw her when I swam there in the spring of 2009.
I didn't see it this spring 2010. only turtles.
maybe she comes back from time to time?)) Is she nostalgic?)) from her cordon)
аватар papa74
ShiShi-ga, tour package to Egypt is limited to 7-14 nights. A period of one year, relative to one week, is more than "long"

A dugong was last seen at Abu Dabab on February 1, 2010.
I saw it in October 2008.
аватар ShiShi-ga
in! well, I didn’t see the dugong alone)
in general, it turned out great) I swim with a mask and snorkel, I look out for turtles, I don’t even dream about dugongs.
And here are the divers below. accompany this beauty. and she tear from them .. float up (sigh) - and right at me))
indescribable feelings))

And we saw in early October 2009. The guide said that we were lucky and that the dugong comes from time to time. Dugongs seem to live somewhere in the Port Ghalib area now. So it didn't go far.
аватар ShiShi-ga
about! if you can see it in the port of Galeb, then boatscaphe excursions start from there. (boat with large windows at the bottom, approaching)
so you can shoot without pissing your feet) if you're lucky)
