What the community said
In November the sea is excellent — the underwater world is stunning and well worth trying even for first-timers. A two-week stay during this period is highly recommended.

Both September and November offer good conditions in Sharm. Currents near the reefs are manageable with fins. Near Sunrise hotel, the current can actually carry you along the reef effortlessly — great for reef watching.

In early September Naama Bay is very hot. If your hotel is not on the beachfront, walking to the sea in the heat is exhausting. A sea breeze and beach umbrella are essential — sitting in direct sun is barely tolerable.
