Tell me, as far as I understand there is a sheer reef, and what is the depth? That is, if you look into the mask - can you see the bottom or the dark abyss?
It's just that I'm very afraid of the abyss - the brain draws all sorts of nightmares)))) Before that I was in the AA Grand Oasis, it was great there - not scary and not deep. How about here? Thanks!

Well, it’s not a dark abyss there, the bottom is visible, but it vaguely depends on the time of day and the presence of plankton in the water, after lunch the sun begins to shine from the coast and the reef goes into the shade, the bottom is not visible and there is a feeling that there is a blue abyss under you, but before lunch is normal. But you are going to watch the reef, and not watch the abyss;) And the reef is beautiful there and there is enough living creatures on it and near it. The only thing that often breaks off is a strong wave before lunch and as a result of this, a red flag often hangs on the pontoon until lunch, that is, a ban on swimming from a pontoon (((And I really don’t recommend swimming from a pontoon without fins, a very strong current! Well, in general, how lucky, we somehow rested there and for 6 days in a row there was a complete calm on the sea, the locals say that this is somehow connected with the phases of the moon. Probably with your fear of depth, you should look for another hotel for rest.

Look at hotels in Sharks Bay, White Night, for example, Siva Grand, Island View, Hilton Sharks Bay. (It's all in White Knight's Bay), Sharks Bay is nearby. The reefs are beautiful, it’s not scary to swim, there is something to admire to the depth. And hotels in a normal price. I can't see much on the steep reefs. You need to swim along a lot, but the current interferes, and I myself am afraid of the depth. Didn't really like the hotels in Nabq Bay. Near Melia, the sinai is beautiful, but the hotel is rather weak.

It all depends on how you swim. If it's good, then the depth should not bother you. The water in the Red Sea is holding up well. You need to swim along the reef and slowly, then you can see a lot.

Oh thanks to everyone who replied. Of course, I want to watch the reef, but the brain will stubbornly look into the abyss))) Such is the psychology. I swim well and have fins, but it’s scary when I can’t see the bottom. Friends just invite me to this hotel, they don’t swim much, they still don’t go deep, but I love it, but I’ll probably tell you to look for something else, otherwise I’ll spend the whole vacation in shallow water, which I wouldn’t really want to .
How to know the phase of the moon? I'm interested in dates from the 25th.

And specifically the city of departure and dates? That way you can see exactly. After all, the price changes almost every day of departure. The deeper into October, the more expensive :( the season. From the end of November-December, prices are already falling. If next week, then in Hilton Sharks Bay I watched $ 1070 without a discount for 2 adults. Island View $ 1059.

I am also terribly afraid of the abyss. Many snorkers are afraid, mostly those. who has never scuba dived.
I think you're just ruining your holiday.
If this advice is appropriate, look for another hotel.

orhideya21, thank you for your advice. We are going to 4 people, the budget for one is a maximum of 12,000 UAH and we want 10-11 days. There is simply an opportunity to get into this hotel for this money. According to the photo and reviews, he certainly likes it very much, but I (only me, my friends don’t care) are confused by the depth, as I wrote. We can fly from 23.09 to 29.09. Any of these days. Judging by the prices that you wrote, as I understand it, on our budget closer to departure (in 5-6 days) can we find something good?

As I understand it, departure from Kyiv. The budget by the end of September is already bursting at all. Hilton SB at the same price as Sea Club, Sea Life (27400 UAH for 9 nights). At a price of 12,000 from the Hilton's nose, if they do, then already discuss the choice of hotel with friends. Sea group good hotels. The only catch is in the reef. But the Hilton is near Soho Square, play on this and the ability to swim even for weak swimmers. I "floated" in this bay, my friend, who did not want to do this at all. Now you can't take your eyes off the sea :)
The rest, equal to the Sea Group hotels, are more expensive.

orhideya21 thanks again!!! )))) Departure from Kyiv. I'm wondering, is there any point in waiting for the burning ones? Or is the price still unlikely to burn out in a good hotel?

In Sea Life, more precisely in the Sea Club (the pontoon is located on its territory) for those who are afraid of tight ropes, just along the edge of the reef from the pontoon. It is very convenient and helps, especially when there is a wave, there is a current and it carries away well. And the waves are there quite often.

It's hard to say about the burning ones. It's a matter of luck if you get a canceled tour, but there are few simply burning in a good hotel. Rather, there are rarely well-lit in a good hotel.
Through additional spending, you can then enjoy the sea on a paid beach, 60 pounds entrance, $ 8, near the monument to the sunken plane. Go a couple of times. But I have not been there, I will not tell you in detail about the depth. But the reef is good, they say.

Many thanks to all who answered, but, as usual, everything was replayed and on the 26th we fly to Marsa Alam (well, to Hurghada, to be exact, and then by bus) to Rehana Royal Port Ghalib. There are few reviews on it, but all are good. I hope this will actually be the case. But there the sea is the way it suits me)))))

zaeugene, yes, I know that, the agency said))))
I really hope that the hotel will live up to the promises of the tour agency and photos)))))
Domina Oasis was also suitable for us for the price and something else in the name, but we chose Rehana precisely because it was new, and we hadn’t been to Marsa Alam, it’s interesting to see.

zolyshka111, I have a fresh review from a tourist about Rehana Port Ghalib. The tourists themselves chose the hotel, as a result, on the 2nd day after their arrival, they tearfully asked them to be moved to another hotel. It was not possible to relocate, they only succeeded in replacing the room with a more comfortable one. I quote: We are resting in Rehan Port Ghalib, but it is difficult to call it rest. The hotel is terrible. Objectively. And this is essentially not a hotel, but apartments in the oriental bazaar. On the ground floor there are local shops, where tourists are brought from other hotels, and cafes, and on the second floor there are rooms. There can be no talk of safety - the hotel has neither fences nor a protected area, this is not a hotel, but a promenade for tourists of other hotels. The beach is located on the territory where yachts enter the sea, and yachts run all day, the smell of diesel from boats haunts everywhere. Music from yachts screams half the night. We were going to a five-star resort, and ended up in an "apartment on Naama Bay." These are not new hotel rooms, but bought out old apartments with a dining room. False information is provided about the hotel everywhere on the network, or rather simply

Yes, the reviews are not bad, but what Amazon wrote me in general put me into a stupor. How can reviews differ so much? Maybe this is one negative subjective view of one tourist?

zolyshka111, it's hard for me to say who writes the reviews, but I have a review of a real person, our tourist, who has already rested in Egypt for the 4th time. They returned from Rehana on 07.09. They also chose this particular hotel, based on the fact that it is new and the reviews are good on the net.
