What marine life can you see snorkeling from the shore in Egypt (Red Sea)?

Near the cape toward Movenpick, between Conti and the closed pier, snorkelers have encountered very large moray eels as well as smaller ones in the same bay.

The reef near Conti has produced sightings of angelfish and grey rays with blue spots.

In the bay at the Movenpick end of the public beach, snorkelers may see a juvenile Napoleon wrasse and barracuda, in addition to large morays and turtles.

One traveler spotted a small octopus wrapped around rocks on the seabed, watching with one eye before swimming off.

Large sea cucumbers are commonly seen in shallow water — sometimes mistaken for octopuses, they're easy to spot on the seabed.

Swimming between the buoys while holding onto the rope, you might unexpectedly encounter a large sea turtle swimming close by — a sight that draws a crowd from the beach.

Near the wooden pier, a large octopus was spotted, and a huge manta ray was seen swimming nearby in open water — a rare but real encounter for shore snorkelers.
