Sharm el Sheikh - Red Sea, Egypt
In Sharm, snorkeling enthusiasts must carefully choose the resort, otherwise they may find themselves facing a mostly dead reef, an overly long pier, big waves and therefore the prohibition of getting in the water.
I recommend the Reef Oasis resort, with a small floating pier and a great reef, but I'm sure there are other good resorts.
I was there in April and October; of course the water is a lot warmer in the fall. I saw around 100 species of fish (including Napoleon), a sea turtle, jellyfish, anemones and other colorful invertebrates, besides coral, and once I had the chance to spot a pod of dolphins swimming parallel to the beach.
Unlike in Makadi Bay - Hurghada, you can only get in the water from the pier, which is more inconvenient and straight into deep water.
To see a spectacular reef it's well worth taking a trip (on water or on land) to the Ras Muhammad nature reserve.
How we get to Sharm el Sheikh:
The most convenient solution is a charter flight from a travel agency, or, if you want to go on your own, Turkish Airlines has direct daily flights from Istanbul.
