I plan for the end of January - February Club EI Faraana. I usually swim for an hour / one and a half, does it make sense to buy a wetsuit?

I think so. The water will be about 20. Plus a breeze, and it's warmer in a suit.

In 18, we were at this time, and it was comfortable near the shore and behind the reef. At 19, according to the locals, it was the coldest winter in the last 10 years, it was cold in both Sharm and Hurghada. The bay itself is super, how the weather will be is unknown.

I was in Faraana Reef and snorkeled on the reef in January. The water temperature was at least 23 degrees. I swam without a wetsuit. I don’t see the point of buying a wetsuit, but again I’m talking about a different thermal barrier for different people (some don’t need it, others need it). Divers in wetsuits

It all depends on the weather, since winters are different, sometimes it’s cold in early December, sometimes it’s quite comfortable in NG. I agree with those who wrote above, if necessary, it is better to rent it locally, since a high-quality wetsuit is not cheap, and buying garbage, and even carrying it with you on planes, is not worth the candle. Yes, and in order to snorkel in cool water on the surface of a full-fledged wetsuit, it’s not necessary, a T-shirt and shorts from a wetsuit are enough. IMHO.

rested in RUES from November to April in different years, swam without a suit - I, in principle, freeze, but I swim for about half an hour per call. if you like comfort, you can buy it - at least it won’t be a shame if this winter turns out to be cold
Have a nice rest!

Isn't it easier to go during the swimming season so that there are no questions about the weather? To drag a wetsuit on vacation (unless you are a professional diver traveling with your own equipment) is somehow beyond good and evil.

Greetings
Yes!!!
You can swim without a suit. But tourists at this time of the year usually swim for 10-15 minutes maximum, and then take a break to visit the bar. After the bar, of course, many "knee-deep sea."
But if you really swim for an hour and a half without a break, then I highly recommend warming up. You can buy not directly a wetsuit, but a "warmer" - clothes for swimming, which divers put on under a wetsuit (it is more elastic and thin, although less "warm").
Have a good rest and comfortable swimming

YaSlavnaYa, oh, I can hardly believe it, reading reviews like "I'm in Sharm for the ...th time" and "we fly every month like to the country")))).
And as for the time, I generally have a vacation according to the schedule, as a rule, that is, I can’t really influence it. But I always look where the season is at this time, because good weather is half of a successful vacation.

ollennka if you don’t set yourself conditions like the star rating of the hotel, food, beach, then yes you can fly from Kyiv every month, now for the next date for 8 nights according to fortune 3 * - $ 357 for 2
I am familiar with such comrades who often fly on such tours to Egypt and Turkey, not every month, but 4-5 times a year for sure. But there is work with a schedule, a work week and a day off, or 3/3 -

More than that, there is a sense: even if the water is bearable, on the shore without a suit you can be blown away by the wind. Enough "short" suit 3mm neoprene, without a hood. Full - for diving only. If the head is sensitive to cold - also a textile swimming cap. I advise you to take a jacket with you to the beach - on windy days.

I’ll probably buy myself a lycra suit, 50 ye worth with us.
Judging by your recommendation, it will be enough.

In the winter of 2018, I bought a neoprene 3 mm wetsuit in Sharm, for $ 45, in the Old City, a dive shop, near the mosque. in different stores on Naama and Soho they asked for 60 and 90 dollars for it)

ollennka, not easier. In the season, as a rule, half a day of wind and you can’t swim calmly.
And the season is very hot.
For me, just T-shirts and leggings are enough, who is freezing.

NellyK, at our prom prices for wetsuits start from 700 UAH.
But sensible ones are also somewhere closer to 1000 UAH
Slippers from 70 UAH start, panoramic mask from 330 UAH
If you haven't lost your summer tan yet, then you can bargain in Egypt. And if he came down - they stand like flint

ira.novo2000, By season I mean the time when there are no winds and cold. I really liked the first half of November in this regard. After November 16, the weather is already starting to deteriorate and it is slowly getting colder. And in the first half, the weather is perfect: the sea is calm and it's 28-30 outside.

ollennka, There is no cold in the charm of the Sheikh. And there are no winds in the bays.
Their coldest time is beautiful summer weather, only the day is short - but you won’t burn much in the sun

ira.novo2000, I am aware that everyone has their own sensations of heat and cold, but personally I consider the air temperature 28-30 to be perfect summer weather, with air below 27 I will not go swimming. Now there in the afternoon 23-26, which is already not enough. Well, swimming in a wetsuit, with all my desire, is not associated with beautiful summer weather.
