Where's the best snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh — from the pier or on a boat trip?

A local resident noted that the most colorful marine life is around the Concorde hotel area and the Island spot — the fish there are noticeably brighter than at other snorkeling locations.

On the 'Grand Voyage' boat trip, travelers got lucky and saw dolphins — a rare bonus even for repeat visitors.

Snorkeling guides on the 'Grand Voyage' trip showed far more marine life than an unofficial diving tour the previous year — worth paying extra for an organized excursion.

The 'Grand Voyage' trip was well organized — plenty of space on the boat and everything ran on schedule.

Snorkeling right from the town pier was impressive on its own — lots of fish and great visibility, no boat trip needed.
