Coral in the Red Sea still amazing... this vlog from 2017, not that old, showing intact reefs that are shallow enough for snorkelers, thus also keeping a lot more of the vibrancy of the true color... absent in most of the diving vids I poked at today... The corals in the views here are what the now far too urban East Asian Islands looked like, 50 years ago... In looking at a few vids, today, you can see the tourism in the more popular parts of Egypt already more than the reefs can handle... tour boats ejecting hundreds of "snorkelers" who proceed in hacking up the reefs... Farther south on the Red Sea coast are more remote spots that are less impacted... with resorts run by people with more incentive to protect the reefs. Same is true in Saudi, now... the closer to an urban center you are... harder to find a pristine reef... but not hard to find places in Saudi with almost no impact... and places with pristine reefs accessible from shore.
