actually it’s worth it. a sim card costs 5 bucks + what you put it yourself, it took me only 1500 rubles for SMS to Russia in a week. so buy a sim card there. I was on an excursion to the island of a tyrant-delight, there was no professional equipment, but only mask, but that was enough. There are special yachts for diving

I support the above on all counts.
Divers, beginners, and those who just want to ride a boat are recruited on sea excursions. If you need equipment, when buying an excursion, tell us about it, write down your size and provide everything. Certified divers dive in more beautiful places. This time we didn’t have such people on board, and we couldn’t snorkel at the sunken ship, and the reef will rock there!!!

what the guys were talking about is called snorkeling (sea boat trip), and diving is a completely different and more exciting thing. snorkeling is just a boat trip and then in a place where divers dive, they give you fins and a mask and you just swim there like at a hotel. for diving there are two routes (that I know), and maybe more, the first and one of the most beautiful is in the Russ Mohammed reserve, and the second is to the sunken Russian cargo ship. it's very beautiful there too.
you can also choose the number of dives 1 or 2, I advise you to take two dives, because usually on the second dive you are already calmer and nothing will distract you from the beauties of the underwater world of the Red Sea. also on a boat, you will be asked to film your dive with a camera, for an appropriate fee. You will dive in pairs and you will be accompanied by an instructor.
one little tip, take a windbreaker or jacket with you, as it will be windy on the boat at any time of the year when you go to the dive site, and do not wear a "blazer" as they often just fly away to the sea and no one comes back for them.
ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY ;-)

Do you want to take a one-time introdive? I would not advise. Why? As a rule, this is a dive to a maximum of 15 m, with an instructor by the handle, which in this situation is a big plus. Now, due to the large number of accidents when diving in Egypt, a rule has been introduced - for one instructor - one beginner. And for beginners, their regular sites were closed. I don’t know how they adhere to this rule now, but it came to a ridiculous point - beginners were taken to a certain place and the dive was simply practiced there. That is, the place was chosen not for beauty, but for functionality. You need to do at least 10 dives to understand as. It's like driving a car, when a beginner convulsively holds on to the steering wheel, while an experienced one at this time enjoys the views from the window. If you want to go diving, start diving at home in the pool with an experienced instructor.
You have to work out the necessary elements there when diving. Now, if you get water under the mask under water, or you run out of air and you need to use your couple’s octopus, can you do it? I have my very first dive filmed - 50 min. jerky movement. All in all, it's a comedy.

And the fact that you have to put on a reusable suit, For me it would be terrible. It is not known how many people got it dirty.
Diving in general is great!
But if you are prepared.

to givgik. snorkeling is not a boat ride, but simply put, viewing the beauty of the sea with a mask, snorkel and fins, and this can be done both near the coastal reef and in the open sea. And we just went to the sunken dry cargo ship last time due to the fact that we got on board the boat, where there were certified divers. While they were sinking, we were lucky to see this beauty, albeit from the surface of the sea. And suddenly we were on board with amateur divers and the route was different. So the principle of selling excursions is the same, they simply clarify the skills and desires of tourists and, based on this, form a group of tourists.

I don’t know about Beeline, but I connected the service to MTS myself. I did it, I pay 45 rubles for the 1st minute, then 5 minutes for free, and then 9 rubles. minute, but there is one BUT. My network in Roaming was Vodaphone and they charged money for the fact of an established call, so I advise you to turn off the phone. As for the local Sikmka, people bought it and did not seem to complain.

When we flew to Egypt for the second time, we bought Travel Sim in Ukraine - a SIM card for roaming. It costs about 200 UAH, on the account 20 USD. - a minute of conversation with Ukraine 55 cents, this card saved us a lot of money. Korchoe for 20 bucks turned out to be almost 40 minutes of conversations with Ukraine + the card can be used on future trips - the rates are normal in all countries. For future trips, I recommend buying it) but diving is just super, better than any excursion

As for Travel Sim, they were sold at the Airport. If my memory serves me right, there you choose the country in which you are given discounts.

Oliy-gold, about the SIM card, you have already been written above either Travel Sim, or here Etisalat, Vodafone, Mobile, the SIM card itself officially costs 25 pounds + you need to put 25, 50 or 100 pounds on the account, a minute of conversation with your homeland 4-5 pounds, smska 1 pound, the exchange rate of $ to the pound today = 5.47.
About diving, yes, indeed now there is a rule that for one instructor - 1 person, before it was for one or two, the dive lasts 15 minutes, near the reefs, recently went to the tyrant, my husband decided to dive, I didn’t risk it, I saw beauty, moray eels and a lot of living things.
