Sleek looking yacht on the shore of a cliff at Sharm el Sheikh in the Red Sea in Egypt

For those people who want to do snorkeling starting from the city of Sharm el Sheikh, the trip we took took us to 3 different snorkeling locations. These locations were not very deep, with the coral formations coming right to the surface of the water, and the water depth at these locations not being more than 15-20 feet. Equipped with safety vests, there is absolutely no danger of drowning in these water levels as long as you don't panic (during all the time that we were in the water, we did not see any kind of large fish, just large colorful fish). The yacht in the photo (and this yacht looks very sleek with its top pulled back) is right next to the cliff. The slope of the cliff looks very unsteady with these boulders, and loose soil visible on the slope of the cliff. One of these stops is a place where the coral formation comes right to the water surface, and there will be a number of ships at close to these points since the tourists congregate at these points.
