This is a scene in the Ras Muhammed National park, where a number of tourists come to enjoy the coral reefs. This marine park is located close to the tourist town of Sharm el Sheikh, which itself is located on the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula. In the marine park, there are a number of coral reefs, and tourists come here for snorkeling and to the deeper regions for scuba diving. In this photo, you can see the snorkeling equipment along with a rubber air float being used as a flotation device. The shore is not very far away, as can be seen in this photo.

This is a view of a person using snorkeling equipment and floating over a coral reef. The person is wearing the snorkeling goggles and is face down, the purpose of being face down is to ensure that the person keep on viewing into the water and the front part of the face is covered with water. In this situation, the breathing tube is the one that ensures that the person is able to breathe easily and gets air from the air above. It always seems interesting to see a person doing snorkeling, since most of the body is at the water surface (or rather just slightly below the water surface).

A view of multiple people doing snorkeling in the Ras Muhammed marine park near Sharm el Sheikh. Tourists come to this region for enjoying snorkeling, and sometimes you can get scenes where a number of people are in the same area and with coral reefs in the vicinity. This is a photo taken soon after the tourists got down from the ship and started moving towards the coral reefs, which led to a number of tourists in the same location. There are people wearing flippers, and a lot of splashing as people try to move to another direction.

A tourist wearing a colorful (red and orange colored) life jacket in the Red Sea, in the Ras Muhammed marine park, near the tourist town of Sharm el Sheikh. Snorkeling is a very interesting experience, with people facing down into the water and looking below (typically to look into coral reefs that are located below the surface of the water and the colorful fish that are near these coral reefs). They get air through a tube that connects the goggles (and hence the nose) through a tube that connects to the air above.
