🚤 About the Royal Seascope – A Unique Semi‑Submarine

The Royal Seascope is not a traditional submarine; it’s a semi‑submersible vessel specifically designed for underwater viewing without diving. The spacious lower deck sits 3‑4 metres below the surface, with individual seats next to large, clear windows. The cabin is fully air‑conditioned and climate‑controlled, making it comfortable even in the heat of summer. The upper deck offers sun loungers and shaded areas. The captain and marine guide provide live commentary, pointing out different species of fish and explaining the coral ecosystem. The Royal Seascope operates in calm, protected areas near Port Ghalib, ensuring a smooth ride for all passengers.
