Setting Sail on the Red Sea

As a former professional surfer, I’ve spent countless hours riding the waves and exploring the ocean’s depths. But the allure of the Red Sea, with its vibrant marine life and legendary coral reefs, was something I couldn’t resist. So, I found myself in Aqaba Governorate, ready to embark on a Glass Boat & Snorkeling Adventure that promised a unique blend of relaxation and exploration.

The journey began with a short ride on a glass-bottom boat, a perfect way to ease into the adventure. The captain skillfully navigated the waters, allowing us to marvel at the underwater wonders without getting wet. The proximity of the reef to our starting point meant we had ample time to soak in the sights. As we glided over the corals, the wrecks of a plane, tank, and boat came into view, each telling its own story of the sea. It was a mesmerizing experience, watching the vibrant marine life dance beneath us, a living tapestry of colors and movement.

Diving into the Depths

The second part of the excursion was what I had been eagerly anticipating – snorkeling in the Red Sea. With a mask and snorkel in hand, I was ready to dive into the crystal-clear waters. Safety was a top priority, and the professional team ensured everyone felt comfortable, whether they were seasoned snorkelers or first-timers.

For those like me, who are at home in the water, there was the option to venture further from the boat, accompanied by a team member. The less adventurous could stay close, buoyed by the provided floats. As I swam away from the boat, the underwater world unfolded before me. Schools of fish darted around, their scales shimmering in the sunlight. The corals, in their myriad shapes and colors, were a testament to the sea’s beauty and resilience. It was a short but exhilarating dive, a perfect introduction to the Red Sea’s underwater wonders.

Relaxing at Berenice Beach Club

After the thrill of the sea, the Berenice Beach Club offered a serene retreat. With its pristine beach, inviting pools, and a restaurant serving delicious local fare, it was the ideal place to unwind. The club’s atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, a perfect complement to the morning’s adventure.

As I lounged by the pool, sipping on a refreshing drink, I reflected on the day’s experiences. The combination of exploration and relaxation had been invigorating, a reminder of why I love the ocean and its endless possibilities. The Red Sea had lived up to its reputation, offering a glimpse into a world that is both ancient and ever-changing.

For anyone seeking a unique adventure that combines the thrill of discovery with the comfort of a beachside retreat, this Glass Boat & Snorkeling Adventure is a must-try. It’s a chance to connect with the sea in a way that is both exciting and soothing, a perfect escape for the free-spirited traveler.
