You step off the shaded harbor and the Red Sea stretches, bright and uncompromising — a blue that pushes at the horizon. The semi-submarine's glass belly hums as it eases away from Hurghada, offering an underwater preview: coral ridges, darting surgeonfish and the slow patience of giant bivalves. After a sixty-minute bottom-glass cruise, the boat drops anchor near Hula Hula Island and the water dares you in earnest.
