only one place in the world can be compared with the reefs of Sharm and Taba. This is the Great Barrier Reef near Australia. There are no such beautiful reefs anywhere else in the world.

I only answered the part of your question about comparing reefs. Unfortunately, I can’t answer the second part of the question, because. I have not been to this hotel and I have no information about the seabed of this hotel. Sorry.

You need to take a mask and loas, because. what they give for rent is poop, and it's expensive to buy there. Beauty of the sea: there is nothing remarkable on the beach of the hotel. However, if there is a share of adventurism in the blood, you can:
1. if you stand with your back to the hotel on the beach - go behind the breakwater and swim there. Amazing cuttlefish live there, which glow in the dark and change color when a person approaches. A little further into the sea - you can see flocks of large fish, in my opinion edible. Also shells, crabs, octopuses. There are also big turtles. You can even get the hang of touching them. You just have to be careful, because. This is already the territory of the military base. The hotel guards are very swearing if someone swims there. Yes, there are patrols sometimes. So if there is a desire to take a risk, it is better to do it early in the morning, for example, between 6 and 7, while everyone is sleeping.
2. You can go in the same direction along the road and turn over the mountain. Behind it is a municipal reserve. The bottom is much more interesting, and there are more animals. There are coral thickets, though they are not comparable to the Red Sea. But there is beauty there. More restrained and majestic, but less tame. It's deeper there. I will continue in the next answer.

I continue:
3. You can, if you stand with your back to the hotel, go to the right for about a kilometer, to where construction sites and private territories are. There is also something to see beyond the breakwaters. The bottom is not deep, 10-15 meters, but this is enough to enjoy the experience. You just have to watch that the waves are not very good. There are stones and it is dangerous in a storm.
4. In a nearby hotel they offer diving, first near the coast, then they are taken to the island, which is 100 or 200 meters from the coast. You can refuse such an offer, because. near the island, the depth is 3-5 meters, and the living creatures are the same as near the coast. Tourists scared everyone away. So it's better to do your own dives: save money and see more.
Good luck!

At the expense of Oman - how lucky. This excursion involves riding on a "yacht" - just a big boat with lunch. Basically, it's a boat trip. There will be 2-3 stops: one near the coast and 1-2 at sea. With a mask and fins you can slouch. Life, of course, is enough. However, the money that is asked for this excursion does not justify itself. If you don't go, you won't lose much. Caution: sometimes, though rarely, those who went on an excursion to Oman have problems at the border. I don’t know what this is connected with, but it happens that they are “shaken” more, documents are checked more carefully.

I didn't have any problems at the border. Traveled in January 2010. They didn't even check their passports.
Those money, namely $ 100, by the standards of the Emirates, the tour is worth it. It is better to go to Oman and get a "sea" of pleasure than to go to Dubai for the same money and go shopping for fur products.
Everything is expensive in the Emirates. Compared with the CIS countries.

Agree. However, it is also worth going to Dubai, only on your own. There is a bus from the hotel. And there take a sightseeing tour right next to the shopping center. It is convenient in that you can get out where you like, and then take the next sightseeing bus.

Yes, if you take an excursion to Oman, then flippers and a mask will be given to you there for free.

Have you seen these masks and flippers? Do not make me laugh. They are suitable only for swimming on the surface and can dive 3 meters.

I didn't try to make anyone laugh. Yes, there are ordinary masks and flippers, nothing remarkable. If someone needs professional equipment, then of course it’s better to take your own, but for an amateur, it’s enough that they give out on a boat.
