Is it worth snorkeling at the reef in Sharm El Sheikh on your own instead of a group tour?

TL;DR

Yes, going independently is better — group tours are often rushed, and the best reef spot is within walking distance of the hotels, so you don't need a tour to get there.

What the community said

One reef spot is noticeably better than the other — more marine life, and it's worth visiting at least once. It's within walking distance, which is why tourists from all over Sharm come here.

Walkable reef spot

It's better not to rush and take your time exploring — on organized group excursions, according to feedback, everything happens too fast and you miss a lot.

Before going, it's worth picking spots in advance — Sharm has many places worth walking to and exploring independently, without the rush of tour groups.
