the floor bed is sand- ever walked across water saturated saND? The artifacts were coralized=- look at any coral structures- they aren’t covered in silt or sand- look at ship wrecks on the bottom of oceans- they aren’t buried in sand either- I have no problem believing God miraculously created dry land for His people to walk across- the area was not shallow enough that a ‘strong wind’ could have both parted the sea and dried the water saturated sand instantly- Watch any recovery project on the sea floor where the sand starts to become disturbed- it is very loose and gets stirred up easily- just waving a hand over it will cause it to disperse- it would take a long time to dry it out enough for it to be firm enough that they could walk across on ‘dry land’ as the bible states-

Not everything has a natural explanation- some things are supernatural

As I’ve stated upthread I have no problem with the miraculous nature of this, either, but I see no need to exaggerate the difficulties involved in order to, what, magnify the miracle? Those artifacts have been lying there over 3,000 years on the seabed, they didn’t sink and they’re not covered in sand or silt. I’ve dealt with sandy seabeds before, and am aware that artifacts become buried over hundreds of years, let alone thousands of years. That these have not suggests to me that the seabed is just not that soft or saturated. Stating this does not diminish the miracle of the Red Sea Crossing of Exodus in the least.

The red sea bed at the crossing point is not sandy, but the chariot wheels are very barnacle encrusted.
