Board a semi-submarine in Hurghada for a three‑hour Red Sea experience: an hour below the surface in a glass salon followed by snorkeling over coral gardens. Ideal for families and first‑time reef observers, it pairs dry underwater viewing with a short swim for closer encounters.

You step off the marina dock in Hurghada to the sound of engines and gulls; the boat’s deck hums with the soft wake of the Red Sea. Glass panels glint under the sun as the semi-submarine eases away from shore, then descends until the salon sits roughly three meters below sea level — the reef rising up like a living wall outside your window.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The Red Sea’s corals are sensitive—use mineral-based sunscreen and apply before boarding to protect reefs.
