Red Sea Semi-Submarine Experience

Seascope Trip with Snorkeling from Hurghada

Discover the underwater world of the Red Sea without getting your feet wet — then dive in for the full experience.


The Seascope snorkeling trip from Hurghada offers a rare combination of semi-submarine viewing and open-water snorkeling, allowing travelers of all comfort levels to explore the Red Sea's celebrated coral reefs. Departing from New Marina, this three-hour outing is suitable for those who prefer a dry vantage point as well as those ready to snorkel among tropical fish.

The semi-submersible vessel descends to a depth of two meters, placing passengers in a lower deck surrounded by large glass windows. From this vantage point, guests observe coral formations and reef fish in their natural habitat without entering the water.

Following the submarine portion, a dedicated snorkeling stop gives participants roughly thirty minutes in the crystal-clear waters above the reef. This combination format makes the tour accessible to non-swimmers and experienced snorkelers alike.

Tour Highlights

View coral reefs and reef fish through panoramic glass windows at two meters depth aboard the semi-submarine vessel.

Snorkel directly above the coral reef for approximately thirty minutes in calm, clear Red Sea waters.

Depart conveniently from New Marina in Hurghada, one of the city's most accessible departure points.

Rated Easy difficulty, making this trip appropriate for families, seniors, and first-time visitors to the Red Sea.

Observe some of the Red Sea's most diverse marine life, including colorful reef fish and living coral ecosystems.

A compact three-hour format fits easily into a full vacation day without consuming an entire morning or afternoon.
