Hotel pickup is included, with plenty of time to explore the reefs, relax on board, and enjoy lunch during the trip. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 8 hours Group size: 1 to 15 guests Pickup: Hotel pickup and return in the Marsa Alam area Destination: Coral Gardens reefs Format: Snorkeling trip with a supervised introductory dive and lunch on board 🤿 What to Expect After pickup from your hotel, travel to the marina and board the boat for a full day on the Red Sea. Cruise toward selected Coral Gardens reef sites, where clear water, colorful coral formations, and tropical fish create excellent conditions for exploring the underwater scenery. Spend time snorkeling with guidance from the crew, returning to the boat between stops to relax on deck. The exact reef locations may vary depending on sea and weather conditions. Guests who want to experience scuba diving can join a supervised introductory dive with a qualified diving instructor. After a safety briefing and equipment introduction, enter the water with your instructor and discover the reef from below the surface. No previous scuba certification is required for the introductory dive. A lunch break is served on board, giving you time to relax before continuing with more snorkeling and enjoying the surrounding Red Sea scenery. 📍 Location Coral Gardens reefs are located off the Marsa Alam coastline, an area known for clear Red Sea water, coral formations, and diverse marine life. Hotel pickup and return in the Marsa Alam area are included. The captain selects suitable reef stops according to the day's sea and weather conditions, helping provide a comfortable and well-paced experience. ✅ Prerequisites No scuba certification is required for the introductory dive. Guests taking part in diving should be comfortable in the water, follow the instructor's safety instructions, and meet the applicable health and diving requirements. If you prefer not to dive, you can enjoy the snorkeling portions of the trip instead. Children and non-divers can also enjoy the boat day according to the selected booking option and applicable safety requirements. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunglasses, and sun protection for your time on the boat. ⭐ Why Choose Us This experience brings snorkeling and introductory scuba diving together in one full-day Ma… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel collection in the Marsa Alam area 8 Hours Boat Trip To Coral Garden Snorkeling & Diving Guide Intro Diving & Use of SCUBA equipment Snorkeling, Use of Snorkeling equipment and Life Jacket Lunch on board between sessions, Water & Soda/Pop ### What’s not included National Park Fees & Value Added Taxes 10 € Per Person paid cash on spot Transfer from South Marsa alam airport Extra charge 10€ paid cash on spot Photos, personal expenses and tips ### Kit list Swimwear, rash vest or t-shirt, towel and dry clothes Dive certification card if you want tanks Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and a dry bag Hotel name for collection ## FAQs ### Is hotel pickup included? Yes. Collection from hotels in the Marsa Alam area is part of this day. Give your hotel name when you book so the driver can find the right gate, and be ready in the window you are given because the coast road between resorts can be slow. Build the whole eight-hour shape into your day rather than planning a late dinner immediately afterwards. Arriving late at reception cuts into time at the reef. ### How is this different from the snorkel-only Coral Gardens day? This day mixes snorkel and dive stops on the same Coral Gardens day. The cheaper Coral Gardens listing is snorkel only. Choose this trip if someone in the group wants tanks; use the snorkel-only page if nobody is diving. They are not two lengths of the same form. The from-price and the kit on the boat are diff erent. ### Do I need to be a certified diver? No previous diving experience or certification is required for beginners. Before entering the water, the instructor provides a safety briefing and explains how to use the diving equipment. Your first dive is supervised closely by a qualified instructor throughout the underwater session. ### Is lunch included? A freshly prepared lunch is served on board between water sessions. Treat it as a proper sit-down on the boat rather than a snack, and say any dietary needs when you confirm your place so the kitchen can try to match them. Carry extra water and a small snack for the run out if you eat breakfast early. Soft drinks beyond what is served may be extra on the boat. ### How many dives will I get? There are multiple stops where you can dive or snorkel. Exact sites and the number of tank dives can change with sea state, your qualification and how the group is going. Follow the instructor's plan rather than counting on a fixed two-dive script. Stay where you can see the boat when you surface. Divers and snorkelers may be split at a stop so each group stays at the right dep th. ### Can children join the boat? The crew look at swimming ability and, for divers, qualification before they agree a session. Infants are not a fit for the reef stops. Younger children usually snorkel rather than dive. Mention ages when you confirm your place. Do not assume a junior tank is waiting unless the team have said so. ### What should I wear and bring? Swimwear, a rash vest or t-shirt, a towel and dry clothes for the ride back are the practical kit. Divers should bring their certification card and logbook if they have one. Sunscreen, a hat and a long sleeve for the deck matter on an eight-hour day. A dry bag keeps phones and cards off wet decks. Soft shoes that can get wet help on the swim ladder. Boat kit covers snorkel gear; ask on the day what dive kit is issued rather than assuming a full kit hire. ### Will I see turtles or dolphins? Tropical fish are the usual sight on these reefs. Turtles and dolphins are sometimes seen, but they are wild. Stay with the guide and give animals space if they appear. Do not chase wildlife for photos. The coral and the clear water still make the day if the larger animals are elsewhere. ### What if the sea is rough? The day needs a workable sea. If the outer reefs are too rough, the crew may switch to closer sites or hold the departure. You will be told as early as they can once morning conditions are clear. Have a loose plan for the rest of the day so a weather hold does not wreck the whole morning. Eight hours on a boat is already a long window even when the sea is kind. ### Is this a diving course? This is a guided day-boat mix, not a certification course. Open Water and Advanced courses from Marsa Alam are separate listings. Choose this trip if you already dive or only want to snorkel on a Coral Gardens day. If you want to learn to dive, use the course listings rather than expecting certification to hap pen on this outing. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/63a17d53-51f8-4255-a149-bcf29ddffad9-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
