Sea Scope Semi-Submarine and Snorkeling
Short description
The Sea Scope semi-submarine trip lets you see the Red Sea reefs without putting on a mask. The viewing deck sits below the waterline and has large windows, so coral, fish and other sea life pass right by while you stay dry. It suits families, children and non-swimmers, and anyone who wants a different angle on the reef. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Hurghada are part of the trip, which runs daily, starts at about 10:00 and lasts about three hours.
The Sea Scope is not a true submarine. The boat does not dive, and only the viewing deck is below the water line. As the boat cruises along the Hurghada coast it also stops in clear water so that anyone who wants to can snorkel and look at the coral and fish up close. Snorkeling is entirely optional, and there is help on board for anyone who needs it. After the stop the boat returns to the marina.
Photos and videos are optional extras and personal expenses are not included. If you plan to snorkel, bring swimwear and a towel. Beach shoes and a light cover-up are recommended. Please give a valid phone number and email when booking so your pickup time can be confirmed.
