Where to buy diving/snorkeling gear cheaply in Sharm El Sheikh?

From messages by 2 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 73 days ago

TL;DR

Snorkeling and diving gear in Sharm El Sheikh is cheaper outside hotel shops, in stores beyond the hotel grounds — that was the August 2026 advice for those who don't care about the brand. In July 2026 participants noted that prices are aimed at uninformed tourists, and at Blue Beach you can buy for less from touts if you know prices in advance. The best deal, they said, can only be found by comparing shops yourself.

What the community said

In August 2026 a participant advised that if you don't dive or snorkel regularly and the gear brand doesn't matter to you, it is fine to buy it in Sharm. Just not in the hotel shop — buy outside the hotel, where it is cheaper.

In late July 2026 a participant noted that gear prices are aimed at the not-so-informed tourist, and that price information is easy to find online. At Blue Beach, he said, if you know what you're doing you can buy for less from touts — so find out the typical price beforehand and bargain.

In mid-July 2026 participants wrote that the only way to find out where it is cheaper is to visit the shops yourself: hunting for branded underwater gear is not the main interest of most tourists in Sharm.
