Semi-Submarine Hurghada & Snorkeling Adventure
Semi-Submarine Hurghada & Snorkeling Adventure
A practical guide to semi-submarine hurghada & snorkeling adventure.
Descend 3 metres below the surface without getting wet, then slip into the Red Sea for 30 minutes of snorkeling among coral reefs and colourful marine life.
01.A Window Into the Red Sea’s Underwater World
Come and discover the wonders of the Red Sea on a 2-hour cruise aboard a semi-submarine — a comfortable, air-conditioned vessel with a glass viewing cabin located 3 metres below the waterline. Watch coral gardens and tropical fish drift past through panoramic windows, then finish with a guided 30-minute snorkeling stop in warm, crystal-clear waters. It’s the easiest way to experience the Red Sea’s marine life, whether or not you can swim.
“ You don’t need to dive to see the Red Sea’s most colourful residents — just step aboard and look through the glass.
