Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt · 8h · €25 per person · EN
I went for a day trip with Shark Divers, that was recommended by their brother operation, Octopus Divers in Dahab, and I highly recommend them too! I had three amazing dives at the stunning SS Thistlegorm and Ras Mohamed.
What is this tour like?
This is the snorkelling side of Shark Divers' programme, and it has nothing in common with their diving trips beyond the same base in Hadaba, next to the Desert View hotel. The boat runs to two of the best-known stops on the South Sinai coast: White Island, the sandbank that appears and disappears with the tide off Ras Mohammed, and the reefs of Ras Mohammed National Park itself. You swim from the boat with mask and fins, no tank and no certification involved.
At €25 per person this is one of the cheapest listings we carry in Sharm, and since our September check the operator has grown what the figure covers: hotel pick-up and drop-off, a snorkelling guide, boat facilities, lunch, soft drinks and — the line that usually appears at the pier — the protected area fees. The day runs 08:00 to 16:30 with three snorkelling and swimming stops of at least 45 minutes each, and the minimum age is 12. Snorkelling equipment shows up as a selectable extra whose price the page does not print, while a life jacket is €5 and an intro dive from the boat €15; booking takes a 10 % deposit. The operator's Google rating is 4.9 from 203 reviews across the whole centre, diving and snorkelling together.
