Can you see the reef WITHOUT scuba gear?
I read reviews about the beauties of the reef, but with scuba gear ... But I just want to see with a mask - will it work?

It seems to me that it is impossible. Because there will be a deep dive.

With a mask, you can also appreciate the beauty of the reefs, but only the upper part. You will see fish that swim at a depth of 1-3 meters. Most often, this is enough to leave an impression.

A healthy but untrained adult with fins can briefly dive to 7-9 meters, which is enough to catch a glimpse of the tops of the reefs. Or hang longer at 4-5 meters, watching what is happening from above. And with scuba diving, after a short briefing, you can safely go 10-15 meters, whatever the instructor decides there - and stay there as long as there is enough air in the cylinders.
Salinity is also a problem in the Red Sea. With scuba gear, you simply blow out the water that has leaked under the mask, but you will have to tinker with the mask and snorkel, and you need to take care of your eyes more compared to the same Black Sea.
All this IMHO, of course.

What do you! There is a whole company of people who are passionate about snorkeling, called the Red Sea maniacs.)) So, snork gives no less than a dive. And underwater pictures from snorkelers are no worse than from divers. Because diving is two, maximum three times a day for 40 minutes, and snork is at least 6 hours a day (if desired)))
You can snorkel at waist-deep))) and, believe me, you can see a lot of interesting things!
Snorkelers just need to choose a different terrain -
divers are interested in coral walls, and snorkelers are
coral gardens.
You have selected the best reefs in Sharm for your trip. If you swim well - swim along the reef, to the Baron and further - to the lighthouse. Better - in the company. Well, the bay of Ras Gamila at a depth (not near the coast, of course) is also interesting. Good luck to you!

And why not?
Pretty good hotel for snorkeling.
While snorkeling, you can see a lot of beautiful things.
For example, I go to Egypt just for this, I can’t even imagine a day of rest without a mask and tube.
Here are photos taken during snorkeling in these places. There are also from neighboring hotels:

Well, waist-deep just there is unlikely to succeed, after all, the relief is a little different, but it’s also nice to swim above the depth along the wall.
PS. somehow noticed how much time per day on vacation in Egypt I spend in the water. It turned out 6-8 hours, almost like at work;)
Well, of course, if the water temperature allows.
I never go to bed so early in my life - after dinner you get to your room and pass out to put on the mask again at 5 in the morning.

Every day I meet the dawn on the shore in Egypt.
And I get up, like the faithful - at the call of the muezzin for morning prayer!))))

lyric began. guys, everything is clear - the wall is beautiful, but the water temperature is lower than at a shallow depth - you won’t hang for a long time! I will not go to this hotel, I will choose the usual Sunny Days 5. Good luck to everyone.

Unfortunately, I did not have an underwater camera to film the "wall" - there are huge fish, and rays, and seahorses, ... Enumerate further? Don't believe? Your right. I'm not interested in convincing you.
It's just that the hotel itself is not the best in terms of food and service! So I was looking for the best option.

"huge fish, stingrays, skates" can be seen on almost any reef, even the most dead one.
I looked at the photos and videos in your profile - unfortunately, you can’t see the overall picture of the reef, only individual fish, so you won’t be able to judge which reef is better or worse from them.
"The wall is beautiful, but the water temperature is lower than at a shallow depth - you won't hang for a long time!"
So this is .. a wetsuit to help;)

You need to believe your eyes, of course, only a worm sitting in manure and not getting out of there anywhere also thinks that he lives in gold;)
In order for us all to believe your eyes, write where you have been and what reefs you have seen and what you are comparing with. You look, and we will all rush to the Sunny (whatever it is).
It’s not clear why ask a question if you don’t listen to the advice of really experienced KM lovers at all?
Good luck choosing!

jabetta, did you read my question yourself?
"Break" wherever you want. Because you're off topic. And Sunny Days is another branch!
from idleness, do they write such comments?
Everything is already 150 times clear, but she does not understand ...
turn off notifications - I got this flood!
Thanks to all!

Stiliz, Actually, I didn't poke you. With the rest, everything is clear - there is no one to talk to. It all started with a "smart" question. And to be rude, a lot of mind is not needed. Don't pretend to be a snork guru and the like.
Good luck with your Sunny.
Py.Sy. Thank God that such "amateurs" do not try to go to really good reefs :-)
