Sharm is brilliant forsnorkelling.Especially Sharks bay where you can get into the sea very easily. There is a jetty which takes you over the coral and you dont have to stand on them.We have seem all types of marine life NO SHARKS.I have been twice and intend to go there again this year. Try the Hilton Sharks Bay that is were we stay. A fantastic hotel and its all inclusive. Wherever you go have a good time.

Sharm el Naga, It's about 20Km south of Hurghada.
You cansnorkel from the beach [10 m of water 10 m from the beach] The corals are protected with ropes, buoys and beach guards.
There is an entrance fee to the beach and you can rent snorkeling gear and buy snacks and drinks on the beach. There are some big hotels a few kilometers to the south.
[Sorry- I can't actually reccomend a hotel there as I don't know any, but I hope the info. on snorkeling helped]
Have a good trip!

The best place is Dahab, you can go from Hurghada across on the ferry to Sharm and then by bus to Dahab.Snorkeling can be done from the shore and it is really beautiful. There is a place called "Blue Hole" but you will need to go by jeep and you can ask at any hotel or camp and they will arrange a trip for you. Dahab has 5 star hotels and cheaper 1 star and many camps.

Sharm el-Sheikh is the Sinai Peninsula's major tourism center and one of many world's prime diving places and today you will get there your holiday with assistance from this place hotelbye . Sharm el Sheikh is certainly one of Egypt's most readily useful destinations if you would like to chill out on the beach, and it is a chosen by household vacations because of the outstanding facilities on offer. Whether you are here for the mud or the fish living, Sharm el-Sheikh is a good selection for a beach separate following exploring the temples and tombs in the remaining portion of the country. Also, fringed by way of a bright sand beach and swaying palm woods, Naama Bay could be the epicentre of Sharm el-Sheikh's resort life. You can find considerable restaurants, cafés, and souvenir stores if you receive bored of the sand, but Naama Bay is really about the beach.

Dear,
i just want to share my experience with you.
i visited a reef from shore one day and it was exhilarating.
returned back to the hotel , met a German couple ,they talked to me and i advised them to visit that reef. they asked if i would return with them .
i told them not tomorrow,
two days later we went and in the same spot there was caos due to a storm.
my point is it was just a bad day.
a lot depends upon currents in that same spot.
i have been to elphinstone twice in august last year and once in February and the difference is clear.
hope next time you enjoy.there are a lot of places not yet open by the Egyptian authorities and this is a shame just to mention the island of shedwan.

Go to Dahab, in Blue Hole or to Ras Muhammad, there are many more sites but definitely not Hurghada.
