Snorkelling in the Red Sea was amazing, only negative was that there were lots of boats and groups in same spot which meant it was very crowded. The equipment was well maintained. Soft drinks were given on board. The island itself was amazing, there were sun beds under canopies reserved for you and a welcoming homemade lemonade was delivered to your sunbed..
