Excursions take in the dive center of the hotel. Good reef in Sharm el Luli -
a large bay stretching from Cape Ras Baghdadi to Cape Ras Khonkorab.
It includes Sharm el Louli herself. but she is nothing
Shallow wall with good lighting, convenient to photograph.
Parallel to the coast, about 100 meters away, there is a network of islands. Each one has something large,
as we called it - the owner of the island - grouper, napoleon, turtle with sticks,
who peeled off from her and tried to cling to one of our young ladies on a flipper, circled between us. The islets are deep, you can’t dive, more than 10m. But it's interesting to watch.
The second excursion is to the bay behind Ras Khonkorab cape. South

Swim where the cross is, along the outer reef. If you are good (swim well)
There may be a current in the sea on the eastern edge of the cape.
The reefs to the north of the hotel are interesting, the lagoons near Gemma for example.
To the south behind the cape, you can meet reef sharks. If you go through the sandy entrance near the bar, there are beautiful reef sharks

I swam in the bay of Mars Mubarak, you can always see turtles, they graze there, you can meet a dugong if you're lucky, but I didn't see a reef with corals there, like in Abu Dabab.

Thank you for the information, Sharm el Luli also want, will it be from the dive center, are you interested in the price, or is it better by car from the hotel? Tell me, how long is the walk to Gemma and its lagoons? I read reviews on Marsa Needle, Marsa Shun, Gebel el rosas, it's tempting, what do you think? We are not very swimmers, rather beginners, but finally and irrevocably ill with the Red Sea. Is there anything to see in the direction of Shams?

I do not advise you to go to the dolphins, firstly, far, secondly, dolphins swim quickly, you can’t see. I was disappointed.

If you are a beginner snorkeler, it is better to go with divers. Will
some kind of safety net, a briefing on the currents, they will tell you where to swim, they will watch you,
maybe a guide will accompany you. It's more difficult with a car. In that area there is a nature reserve,
few places to roam freely.
Shams Alam is closer to Fantasy. The hotel also has a dive center, run by German Kirsten.
You can Skype with her, arrange a trip on the zodiac to the area of Cape Ras Baghdadi.
Minimum 4 people and calm. I can’t tell you the prices, they were five years ago.
And so near Fantasia you will have enough where to swim for a week for sure. You may not go anywhere.
Although there are many interesting things in the area.))

And we want Sharm el Luli from the dive center for the second part of the rest, Abu dabbab, tell me, is it also better from the dive center or a taxi? Please advise something else.

Fantasy has a lot to offer. Enough for a week. Swim with a beach-boy, the hotel conducts "excursions" for snorkelers in the morning - they will show all the interesting places, convenient entries and exits from the shore.
Then you will swim. You can also take a taxi to Abu Dabbab. Be careful in the bay, watch the currents and stay vigilant. You can also take a tour of Samadai (the house of dolphins),
but there it’s how lucky you will see dolphins or not, whether they will be allowed to swim with them, or just look
from the board of the yacht (if the flock is with kids). But the snork will also be there anyway.

"We are not very swimmers, rather beginners" I definitely do not advise dolphins. I was driving from the Anex tour operator towards Sudan overnight by bus and then by boat. Agrees with Kasja23 near the hotel good reefs, currents, low tide, high tide should always be taken into account especially when swimming in lagoons.
