TL;DR
Inclusions vary by operator: masks, fins and life jackets may be charged separately on Ras Mohammed tours. One reported example was a $15 trip plus around $10 for a compulsory life jacket, so ask for a full list of extras before booking.
Before paying for a Ras Mohammed excursion, get written confirmation of whether a mask, fins and life jacket are included. One traveler reported a tour advertised at about $15 with an additional charge of roughly $10 for a life jacket on site.
Travelers with basic swimming skills reported no strong current on their Ras Mohammed route and did not need a life jacket. Fins were considered more useful, helping protect feet around coral and keep up with the group.
To reduce on-the-spot extras, bring your own snorkel mask and rent only fins if needed. Travelers noted that a mask is essential for getting much from reef snorkeling.
