Snorkelling in the Red Sea

Description

Snorkelling is also great fun and much cheaper than diving. Gear can be rented at most of Sinai's dive centers, but if your're planning to do alot, it's cheaper to bring your own gear from home. Note that coral reefs and spiny urchins can rip unprotected feet to shreds; in all events you should only walk in designated "corridors" to protect the corals-if the water is too shallow to allow you to float above them. However cool the water may feel, the sun's rays can stillburn exposed flesh, so always wear a T-shirt and use waterproof sunscreen.
