How can snorkelers avoid fish bites in Sharm El Sheikh?

From messages by 4 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 24 days ago

TL;DR

Do not touch or try to catch reef fish, as nesting fish may defend their territory. If a fish starts charging, move away calmly and keep clear of predatory fish and their groups.

What the community said

View predatory fish from a distance: do not approach closely or remain near a small group, even when the fish appear small.

Do not touch, catch, or try to drive fish away with your hands. If one behaves aggressively, calmly move away, as you may be near its nest.

If a fish stays in one spot, appears agitated and charges other fish, it may be guarding eggs. Do not linger there; swim away from the area.

Clownfish may defend their anemone and charge swimmers who get too close. Do not slap the water or provoke them; simply increase your distance from the anemone.
