By books:
- sharks (threat - raised head and arched back, head-eye rotation, lowered pectoral fins, open mouth, increased range of swimming movements) brindle, long-winged, dark-feathered gray (often found)
- barracudas, moray eels and large triggerfish.
barracuda attacked in troubled waters by mistake
Moray eels bite those who stick their hands into crevices and caves or swim with harpooned fish, but they themselves can show aggressiveness.
triggerfish - only while guarding the nest with caviar, moreover, it attacks any creatures that approach the nest (see my video in the last review of the Maldives "Paradise")
- scorpion and sigans (poisonous thorns):
lionfish (lion fish) - not fatal, BUT VERY painful
warts (dorsal spines) - treatment is a must!
- surgeons, at the base of the tail - a pair of sharp blades (hence the name)
- stingrays - stingrays - discarded spike
- squirrel fish has cheek spikes.

it is not recommended to touch all kinds of fish that are found in the Red Sea, and specifically in Savita, under the pontoon, there lives a moray eel (maybe not the only one), but so far it has not touched anyone

Invertebrates:
sponges, "Portuguese boat" - tentacles, sea anemones, jellyfish, corals (sharp edges), cones (poisonous spear), "crown of thorns" (thorns with poison in this star) and of course SEA urchins (not fatal, the needles dissolve, but hurt)
This is a theory, but in practice, everything that I saw will be stated in my review "Reef saves Savita" + "Underwater photos"
My recommendations: do not touch and break anything, do not feed the fish and swim around the jellyfish. And you will fall in love with the Red Sea, like me

I agree with papa74, he himself had the imprudence of leaning his foot against the reef with a cart, he received a severe burn, even a chill began, the wound was treated on the ship, but it healed for a long time, two weeks.

there is a huge choice of fish from centimeter to 1.5-meter ones, there are many surgeons at the second pontoon. In general, they correctly write the main thing is not to touch anyone and anything with your hands in the sea. And do not feed - thereby provoking the fish, they begin to rush around you and can injure you (for example, a surgeon can cut very badly)

If you look at the sea, on the right is the extreme pontoon. There are a lot of lionfish, beautiful fish with poisonous spiked fins.

If you don't touch the fish, then the fish won't touch you. Be careful near the reef, if you hurt yourself on the coral, then it heals for a long time.

Seanam, when are you going to Savity for a vacation? I’m reading just the same questions that interested me :)) I was still very upset about the entrance to the sea, which was only along the pontoon, I really wanted to walk along the bank :((

Well, you can walk along the shore, only the water will be below, and right next to the water it’s even dumb somehow, you never know what .... it can get out of the water, and you can step on it, there is no lighting on the beach in the evening, even in Savoy

Yes, thanks to Papa, you answered in great detail both in the letter and here! It's a pity that a special costume is needed to communicate with this living creature! :) What to take from medicines just in case from meeting with living creatures? And yet - so take slippers for water or not?

By 83918, to ask all the questions about living creatures and safety precautions - who can you meet on the shore near the water at night, except for tourists and Arabs, who can bite? :)

In Savita, in principle, you don’t need slippers for swimming (unless you go down from the last pontoon - it’s old and dangerous), you usually need slippers when you walk along the bottom so as not to step on anyone. And in Savita, you can’t immediately walk along the bottom ...
When we were resting, we didn’t approach the water itself at night, somehow it didn’t even occur to us ... and so we walked around the territory not far from the water, we didn’t meet anyone except tourists and guards. And no one told horror stories

There are no Arabs at night, except for security guards (in a small booth), on the shore, in fact, like the shore. These are 3 holes in the rocks for entering the sea.
- Slippers (coral) can not be taken.
- medicines (everything is treated with iodine - this is what I saw). But I think that iodine is good for cuts, and in order to remove inflammation from burns, Psilobalm helps well (from mosquito layouts) GARDEX serum after bites (about 10-13 UAH, small aerosol, with lipstick)

Corals (hard) have a skeleton with sharp edges that can be cut. These cuts take a long time to heal and are easily infected.
The main reef-building organisms are Scleractinia (Madrepore corals), about 282 species.

Yeah. Accidentally scratched on the reef - a small scratch - healed at home for another week. It hurt terribly.

Corals really "sting". Last year, my husband severely cut his leg on the Fire Coral (dived into the grotto), so he (the coral) also "shot" spores into the wound. The leg looked terrible, the whole hotel shied away. First aid: rinse with vodka , fall asleep with an antibiotic such as Baneocin and take an antihistamine (anti-allergic) drug.
