Are there sharks in the Red Sea? Should I be worried?

There are sharks, but shark incidents are extremely rare and almost always linked to specific, well-publicised circumstances rather than normal diving or snorkeling. On our trips you're most likely to see reef sharks at a distance - reef sharks are naturally shy of people. Our guides brief every group on local conditions before entering the water.
