Frequently Asked Questions

The answers provided below are based on responses previously-experience regarding snorkelling in the Red Sea Hurghada:

What to Expect When Snorkelling in Hurghada

Hurghada’s reefs are breathtaking, featuring a diverse array of holes, walls, and drop-offs. Every inch of the reef is adorned with many stunning corals, sponges, and anemones, displaying various colours, from soft pastels to bold reds, oranges, and yellows.

Diving into the waters above the reef, you’ll encounter an impressive variety of marine life. From tiny sea goldies to massive groupers weighing several hundred kilograms, there’s no shortage of fascinating species to observe.

Swimming near the reef, you’ll be captivated by the vibrant butterfly fish, playful clownfish, regal emperor angelfish, and many more. Additionally, the reef is home to brilliantly coloured wrasse, such as the unmistakable Napoleon wrasse and the beautiful yet dangerous lionfish.

One species of reef fish that stands out is the triggerfish, including the stunning Red Sea Picasso Pusher. These fish possess intricate patterns and designs that appear to be painted by an artist. Snorkelling in Hurghada is genuinely a dream come true.

While exploring the reefs, you may also come across turtles and various species of rays, including the impressive manta ray with a wingspan of over six meters.

Venturing into the deeper waters and drop-offs, you may encounter predatory fish such as jacks, trevallies, dorado, tuna, and Spanish mackerel. Among these predators is the notorious barracuda, which is often solitary and has a menacing appearance due to its dagger-like teeth. However, these fish are not typically dangerous to humans if left unprovoked.

Fishermen typically release barracuda back into the water because they can carry ciguatera poison. This toxin accumulates in the fish’s body as it feeds on other small reef fish that have consumed dinoflagellates from the coral. The larger the fish, the higher the concentration of poison, which is why barracuda is not commonly found on restaurant menus.
