Large number of ships and yachts starting out from Sharm el Sheikh towards the snorkeling and scuba diving center

In previous photos, I have described how busy the city of Sharm el-Sheikh can get very busy due to the large number of people who land up there for enjoying the relaxation, want to get a tan at the beach, and do snorkeling and scuba diving. Close by to Sharm el Sheikh are some large coral formations in the Red Sea, protected by the Egyptian Government and hence not going through any degradation. Any idea of how busy the place can be seen from this photo, which shows the yachts and ships that are heading out from the Sharm port. Most of these yachts are full of people who have come here for doing snorkeling and scuba diving, and these coral formations are some distance from the port, making for a hours long trip (these yachts take passengers to the coral formations, provide them guides who help, and also provide food and drink on board). Overall, doing one of these trips is real great, something that the large majority of people who have come there would not have ever done before.
