Remind me of Abu Dabab...
Even I forgot what conditions are offered there for an excursion to Abu Dabab !?
How much time, what to take with you besides equipment, what is included in the paid services, etc.
In general, where to run and where to swim;)

I will add two words to the wonderful story of the Pope74.
I was in Abu Dabbab on January 12, 2010. The beach is exactly as described by the Pope. Just be aware that the beach is huge. Both in length and width. Very clean. Excellent sand. In general, it evokes thoughts of Rio de Janeiro :)
Entering the sea with a width of 10 meters is not so much for the safety of swimmers, but so that the groups do not disperse away from the instructors.
We entered and exited the second dive with an instructor 100 meters to the right of the fenced area. The bottom is sandy and clean. I was generally without fins and slippers.
The corals to the left of the tourist "trail" described by the Pope are really no better than those that we had at the Resta Reef hotel. But that coral wall, which is 200 meters to the right, is a completely different matter! There is a wonderful variety here. And not just turtles. Stingrays, crocodile fish, Nemo clowns, and a lot of everything.
In total, in 2 swims of 40 minutes, the snorkel swam, a kilometer and a half.
Without fins, I was tired like a dog, but I had a lot of fun.
I forgot to say. We went from a hotel guide from Pegasus for $ 35 per person. For half a day. That is, we returned to the hotel for lunch. I think that half a day is what you need. The second half of the day is superfluous.

Those. if we face the sea, then we go to the right - we leave the bay and towards Sol Y Mar Abu Dabbab !? 400 meters from the entrance will approximately turn out ... does it make sense to swim to the northern part of the bay? In principle, for everything, if you visit both the "south" and "north" 1.5-2 km, it will turn out ... fine.
If you go "organized" then the guides will "recalculate" the group, or can you move to "free swimming"?

I don't think it's necessary to leave the bay.
Here I measured ... if you want (it's quite easy, click on the "ruler")
http://wikimapia.org/#lat=25. 3392166&lon=34.7394347&z=17&l=1&m=b
Footage:
back and forth to the maximum, south-322x2 = 644 meters
north-361x2=722m, total 1366m (with "smoke break").
making a triangle so as not to thresh in vain with flippers -
• 361 m (1186 ft)
• 408 m (1337 ft)
• 326 m (1069 ft)
Total: 1.1 km

A hook with a rest on the shore will tighten 266 meters more, but you will look back and forth on the reef, i.e. twice as long... ;)

If you go in an organized manner, then of course they will not let you go free swimming. That is, it will be necessary to negotiate with the instructor for a fee, so that he swims with you. And it’s not a fact that he will agree: he may have other groups after you ...

So that's how I measure distances ;)
I have a wonderful program SAS.PLANET - I like to work with maps / pictures and I know how.
Why do we need a blacksmith!? We don't need a blacksmith! :)))
We somehow manage without an instructor ... on our own ... :)
The main thing is that they would not leave without us.

I have not decided yet, there are circumstances ...
It pulls like a maniac to Fantasy, there are very good places there, but I never looked at them ... the hotel is cheap, the islands are 5 km from the hotel, the north is azure ...
There is a huge team in Shams, volkis and jabetta in Port Ghalib, with TourPravda .... (confused) ...
Be clear, I will definitely unsubscribe ....

I went on an excursion to this bay with a group. The first swim was with a group. I rented fins, but I couldn't swim in them (cheap fins, like boards on my feet). I had to hold the fins with my hand, and swim with the rest of the limbs. But still we swam faster than the whole group. Before the second swim, I asked for the time of departure and we sailed away without a group. Outside the bay, the wave walks, as everywhere in Mars. In 2 hours you can swim the whole bay along the reefs, and across, and obliquely, and touch the turtle, and examine and photograph the microscopic fish.
