These are 2 out of 6 amazing reefs located in front of Pickalbatros Palace Resort in Hurgada Egypt. The other reefs are bit smaller but also very nice. The whole area around those reefs is secured by network, so you can safely enjoy swimming and snorkeling. You have to take the bridge 40-50 m long that is built from the beach into the water and I recommend this place for snorkeling even if you are in some of the surrounding hotels and resorts like Pickalbatros Aqua or Pickalbatros Beach.
I got lucky the very last day of my vacation to see this beautiful turtle and the lifeguard said they used to come often here but not anymore lately. I had to run back to the beach to grab my GoPro and shot this video but before that I had the chance to enjoy swimming with this gorgeous creature for quite some time.
The underwater world is quite rich and the reefs are live and colourful. To be honest even the trips that I took with special boats for snorkeling and swimming around Hurgada were not that impressive as these reefs in front of Pickalbatros Palace Resort.
The reef at the end of the video was my favourite one, it was like a hanging rock with a tunnel underneath.
