🛥️ About the Semi-Submarine Experience
The Panoramic Semi‑Submarine is a purpose‑built vessel designed for underwater viewing. The lower deck sits 3‑4 metres below the surface, with large acrylic windows that give you a clear, unobstructed view of the coral reef. The cabin is air‑conditioned and spacious, with individual seating. The boat also has an upper sun deck for relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze. The tour includes one underwater viewing session of 45‑60 minutes at a protected reef near Hurghada, followed by a short snorkeling stop (approx. 20‑30 minutes) for those who wish to swim. A marine guide provides commentary throughout, helping you identify different fish species, corals, and explaining the marine ecosystem.
