The reef can be seen in the coastal zone, there are also fish there, but few live corals. The surface is flat, but you should not walk on water without rubber slippers. You can not noticeably step on something sharp. But all the beauty of the reef is visible on the edge. But you can't go there from the shore. This is very dangerous, because there are many live corals. A wave can knock a person off their feet. If you fall on live corals, then injuries and cuts will take a long time to heal and scars will remain.
The AA Grand Oasis reef is not wide, 25-30 meters. A plastic pontoon was made from the shore. Everyone goes to the end and descends into the water, like in a pool. You can sit on the pontoon and see if you are afraid. The water is very clear and very salty. Everyone can swim in such salty water, even those who cannot. She holds the body so that you can even fall asleep lying on your back. In general, if you can go down the ladder into the water, like in a pool, and climb back, then you will succeed. This is the most "difficult". Swimming at a distance of 1-1.5 m is quite safe and everything is visible very well.

The reef starts near the shore. Entry into the water from pantone (short). In theory, you won’t get tired of swimming, you can just drift like a float face down, the main thing is a mask and a snorkel, the water holds very well. It is advisable to swim in a T-shirt so that your back does not burn out :)

I don't know about this hotel, but many pantones have life buoys on long ropes. Hold onto it with your hands and watch the reef and fish. My child swam like this a couple of years ago at a depth of 20 meters in Sunrise Aqua Park. There are also life jackets, which the lifeguard on the same pantone will give without any problems.
Pleasant minutes, or hours))), swimming!!

you have a short pontoon there and at the end of it there is a reef right away. stay 1.5 meters from the reef so as not to get hurt.

thanks for the quick answers, but I would like, for example, in the Iberotel palace in charm, I was there last year, there is a wild beach, bald with sand from the shore, the water is clear, I went to the depths in slippers and swam to watch the reef, I was tired, I know nearby, the same bald spot with sand. I wanted such an entry and the reef was alive, but I don’t want to go to the passas again.

and I liked AA Grand Oasis Resort according to the description, I want to go there, but the depth from the pontoon is scary, maybe someone will advise such a call as I want and the reef is alive and there are a lot of fish.

Take a vest, they are very spectacular, matching the color of a swimsuit, if you search on foreign sports sites. And flippers.
There is nothing to trample on corals, living ones grow slowly and break off easily, and there can be gullies in the coral slab, and if you step on one, your foot will fail, and the sharp edges will cut your foot like razor blades. These wounds heal painfully slowly.
So the ban on walking on the roof of the reef in the first place is dictated by concern for your own safety.

El faraana club reef - the same bay as the Phanara Iberotel, but it's cheaper. Entrance from the sea, corals away from the coast. The reef is beautiful

In general, the oasis is quickly snapped up in advance. I have been to the oasis 4 times, I liked it very much. The sea is warm there. Faraana is not a bad hotel, but the food is much worse than the grand oasis. In the oasis, you could take as much bottled water as you wanted, and the snack was not bad. And there is nothing to eat between the main meals. I would still go to the oasis, but I don’t want to go to the faraan

You won’t be able to swim to the reef from the shore, you can get hurt on corals ... Take a vest and swim calmly, only from pantone ... I watched once as one girl who didn’t know how to swim at all and was very afraid, her husband put a VEST on her , FROM THE TOP IS A CIRCLE, AND HE DRAWED IT ON A ROPE AFTER HIMSELF ... so you can always find a way out ....

you really won’t be able to swim from the shore, at least because there are buoys there, that is, you can go into the water, but 3-4 meters and buoys. There are living corals behind the buoys. Swimming from a pontoon is a pleasure, the depth cannot scare you until you you won’t feel it). And since the water is transparent, it’s really not clear what depth is there. There are life buoys tied to the pontoon, I saw people in vests. So there is always a way out. pontoon and just as far from the buildings to the beach. As for masks, in Sharm they are sold all the time in China, but such, very China)) Masks let water through, etc. It’s better to buy a decent mask at home. We just swam wearing glasses, I’m not enough, but my son is the only way, they took him there for a professional swimmer))).
