TL;DR
Sea turtles are regularly spotted near the Ras El Remal reef and around the pontoons of some hotels — they surface to breathe and graze on seagrass; occasionally a manta ray shows up too.
What the community said
A large manta ray was spotted swimming between the pontoons, and a turtle passed through the same spot the day before — a reliable area for marine life sightings.

In the sea near one hotel, turtles surface daily and then walk along the bottom grazing on seagrass — visible right off the beach without needing a boat trip.
