Obtain a hazmat suit. A hazmat suit is an absolute must if you are traveling to the Glowing Sea. Hazmat suits provide you with 1000 radiation resistance. There are several ways to get a hazmat suit. The easiest way is to go to Becky Fallon in Fallon's Basement located in Diamond City. However, if you are short on caps, other ways would be to go to the Yangtze, Marowski's Chem Lab, or Cambridge Polymer Labs. Another method is to do the big dig quest in good neighbor.

Wear Power Armor. Power Armor is mandatory if you want even the slightest chance of surviving in the Glowing Sea. It will protect you from Deathclaws, Radscorpions, Feral Ghouls, and other dangerous enemies. It also provides radiation resistance.
- You can wear power armor over your hazmat suit for ultimate radiation protection.

Rad-X will protect you from 100 points of radiation (it’s best to take multiple to improve its effectiveness!). RadAway will automatically remove 300 points of radiation out of you (note that these amounts may change depending on mods and perks).

If I am going to Virgil at level 16-17, what will I see?

It depends on where you are in the Glowing Sea. If you take a direct route to Virgil's cave, (which is the best thing to do) you will most likely encounter a few molerats, radscorpions, and possibly a Deathclaw if you don't take a straight path.

Question

I'm only Level 10. What will spawn in the Glowing Sea and is it a good idea to go there?

This depends on your character's stats, inventory and combat ability. The Glowing Sea is very irradiated, and there are Deathclaws in the area.
