Tell me, who has recently returned from the hotel, the servants on the pontoon do not let the fence into the sea? They say that they don’t just whistle, but they don’t let you in

If it is dangerous to swim, then the servants should not let you into the sea in any hotel.

Until 9 am and after 6 pm, and if the red flag is hanging, they are not allowed into the sea. This is the rule of all Egyptian hotels.

agent_borabora, we are talking about limiting the area for swimming, that is, for the buoys, not because it's dangerous there, but simply because the sea behind the buoys is not the hotel's sea and you can't go there. We bought a hotel and swim where the hotel has fenced off. We are not talking about danger - waves, low tide, etc. everything is clear with this
аватар Shev37
Fancase, these rules are known to me, but they are usually driven out of the sea at sunset, but you can start in the morning in a normal hotel at 6 in the morning. Yes, the pontoon is closed with a conditional rope, but that never stopped me. In normal hotels, they turn a blind eye to this, and the servants don’t go to the pontoon before 8-00, but there are guards who watch all night

No one is allowed on the pontoon only with the Red Flag. The entrance to the pontoon is blocked, you will not enter it!
If it is yellow, then they do not let you swim over the fences, but only with a whistle. How can lifeguards not let you over the fence when the tourist is already at sea and has swum up to the buoys??? They will never dive after you. At most they will try to somehow punish you when you climb back onto the pontoon. But I just don't know how?
In fact, lifeguards really don't want anyone to drown. If they see that the snorkelers are well equipped, they are calm when a couple of people swim away to the pontoon of another hotel.
And if you go to the pontoon of Montaza, Baron or Sensatori, then the rescuers do not care about you there and they will calmly allow you to swim in all four directions.
We were never allowed on the Melton pontoon without money, but now there are Sunrise, so I can’t imagine how it is now.
On the Kiren pontoon (now Albatross) it is always so crowded and full of people, we preferred to snorkel from the Baron and Sensatori

Shev37, early in the morning calmly cross the rope on all the pontoons of RasNasrani and snorkel for your pleasure! Good luck and have a great holiday! )))

alexfili, I know very well how the guards behave in the Baron, I was there. And I know Melia Sinai, now Melton, who was bought out by Sunrise, does not work. Half of Melia Charm was bought out by the Albatross network last year, they renovated it and, of course, the order on the pontoon will be new. People who arrived a week ago from Montazah, next to Albatross Palace Palace, said that people complained that the rescuers on the Albatross pontoon categorically did not allow swimming beyond the buoys to the right or left, but people from Montazakh swam freely on the Baron reef and even Melton . In 2015, a lifeguard on the Baron pontoon drove away everyone who tried to sail from the direction of Montazah. And lastly, last year, while in Concorde, I swam through three hotels towards Savoy, and so the lifeguard from the second Savoy pontoon started whistling for me when I swam past, diving under the fences and when I didn’t react, jumped into the water and swam towards me, grabbed by the hand and until he realized that I didn’t let go of this hotel.

alexfili, even earlier in 2012, being on the beach of Aloha, he witnessed how a man was chased by a motorboat and forced to return to the buoys. In addition, in the rules of staying on the beach in any hotel, a ban on crossing fences in the sea is written, and this is only a mess and laziness of the servants allows you to swim wherever you want. If you wish, they will fine you for crossing the borders. Fortunately, I have never heard of this in all 14 years of trips to Sharm. Therefore, I ask a question to those who were in the Albatross this year

Fins are needed at Cape Albatros-Melton. We returned a week ago on 07/27/20 Albatros Peles was just getting ready to receive guests. A pontoon was rented on Melton (possibly for repairs) and there are no vacationers. So if you swim well, you can, in which case, go across the shore.

501357, thanks for the fresh information. The current on this reef is not very large, but without fins it is not comfortable everywhere. Melton bought a chain of Arabian Beach and they are renovating. It's strange that Albatros Palace just opened at the end of July, they sell tours to the fullest and people who came like you in July said that there were a lot of people on the pontoon

We returned on July 31 from Coral Beach Montaza. From our pontoon they were allowed to swim from 8 in the morning, but we agreed or went to the Sensatori pontoon along the promenade (the hotel is closed, but they are allowed). We always swam where we wanted, no one whistled for us. Albatross, we were not allowed to sail further to Melton!!! And it’s tough, I realized that they would just pull us out of the water. The frog near the pontoon is a pitiful sight, there is no reef there, we have to swim further. They fenced it with ropes and circles. for snork, you are not here!

Shev37, I would not answer, for some reason I thought that advice was needed.
Not once in 20 years, no one from any pontoon in Egypt forbade us to sail past. No one has ever forbidden to go out on any pontoon, this is the law! Sometimes we were escorted to the exit from the hotel. But usually we planned in advance on which beach or pontoon we would leave the sea. We always study the tides in advance so that we can go out in high water over the reef anywhere in the KM.
Our usual swim is 2-3 hours. Clothes, smartphones and drinking water in a waterproof backpack. We swam many times all the reefs of Sharma. Good luck swimming)))

alexfili,"Never in 20 years, no one from any pontoon in Egypt forbade us to sail past" -I understand you did not read what I wrote to you earlier. I had only one such case in all 14 years when I was caught in the sea, but it was and I seriously dealt with it later. Formally, they are right. hotel rules prohibit being behind the buoys. I have swims the same for two hours, so thanks for the advice. Read the comment by yanina.lyashchuk, you may understand that not everyone knows that they went to Sharm for at least 20 years, judging by the photo-Phanar, and so, living in Faarane Reef, you can safely start from the shore and find a passage through two ridges, and through 2 hours already you will have to go to the bridge opposite the Farsha cafe, because the low tide is very strong, but you can go to the pontoon Reef Oasis. But it's in this bay

What I don't know about Sharm? Or Ras Nasrani? There is a good reef from Sensatori to Melton. After Melton's pontoon, a dull gray guano. Behind the Melton pontoon, yachts were constantly parked and carried snorkelers into this dullness. On the Melton pontoon, the locals tried to steal money.
Kiren was always full of people, in the dark cafeteria there were constant queues of ghouls, as I don’t know now in Albatross. The rooms we always came across shabby. In volleyball at the pontoon, 2-3 multinational teams have always been recruited. Camels lived at the construction site between Cyren and Montaza.
We liked the rooms in Montaza much better than in Kiren. Our balcony went straight to the underpass.
At Sensatori, he was caught in a low tide and kicked his feet on the corals.
We have been to RasUmSid several times. Then, since 2016, they lived several times in an apartment in Hadab, about which there is a thread on another site. Posted here maps of free and paid beaches of Sharm with prices

opposite Farsha cafe
By the way, March 2020: Hadaba apartment, Oonas-Naama Bay, Domina Coral Bay, IlMercato. There are no tours, but you can plan your vacation as you like.
Cafe Farsha in the evening is great! March 7, 2020.

We were whistled a couple of times when we sailed out of the territory of Savoy towards Siwa. When they returned, they asked the guards what was the matter. It turned out that you can’t swim over the fence, because. motorboats with tourists fly between the hotel barriers, and it’s not safe when you swim, and only the tube sticks out of the water. They can't see you on the boat, nor can you see them underwater. It is reasonable that they are not allowed.

So the equipment must be appropriate. If we start from the pontoon, then the rescuer sees how we change into wetsuits, shoes, fins a meter long. The clothes were packed in an orange backpack and washed off))) for a long time.
German pensioners with big orange balloons are snorkeling.
Here, there are no questions. And of course they don’t let the “nogogrygs”, they are taken care of.
