We are currently at Gorgonia beach resort and skipped the diving after we did some snorkeling here and a few dives at Iberotel costa mares some days ago. The bleaching is quite heavy in my opinion. Very few colors and a lot of white, and no soft corals (don’t know if that is normal). In the shallow areas (up to 2m) there is some greenish stuff growing on many of the corals.
We went by speedboat 20 mins to an island with a reef and snorkelled there too, but looked mostly the same. We also snorkelled from Gorgonia jetty to Shams Alam and it was similar, maybe with some a bit healthier spots. There is still a lot of reef fish, turtles and stingrays to see though in all areas we visited.
Take my opinion with a grain of salt and from a snorkeling perspective! It’s my first time there, maybe i just had higher expectations.
