Sharm El Sheikh Semi-Submarine Tour
Discover colorful coral reefs and tropical fish through panoramic underwater windows—without swimming, snorkeling, or getting wet.
See Sharm’s underwater world while staying comfortably dry.
Enjoy an easy, family-friendly semi-submarine excursion from Sharm El Sheikh. After hotel pickup and transfer to the marina, board the Sea Scope and relax on the open upper deck during the short cruise toward a suitable coral-viewing area. Then descend into the air-conditioned observation cabin, positioned below the waterline, where large panoramic windows reveal coral formations and Red Sea marine life. Fish sightings, visibility, sailing route, and time at the reef depend on sea conditions and operational arrangements, because all wildlife remains completely natural.

Quick answers about the Sharm semi-submarine tour.
Is this a real submarine?
It is a semi-submarine: the vessel remains on the surface while its enclosed observation cabin sits below the waterline, giving passengers underwater views through panoramic windows.
Do I need to swim or get wet?
No. The standard program is designed for dry underwater viewing, so swimming ability and snorkeling equipment are not required.
How long is the underwater viewing?
The complete excursion is approximately three hours including transfers. Actual time in the lower observation cabin varies by vessel schedule, route, and sea conditions.
Is the trip suitable for young children?
Yes, it is generally one of Sharm’s easiest family excursions. Children must remain supervised, use handrails, and follow crew instructions while boarding and moving between decks.
Will we definitely see many fish?
The route targets active reef areas, but marine life is wild and cannot be guaranteed. Visibility and sightings vary with currents, weather, season, and natural conditions.
Can guests with limited mobility join?
The lower viewing cabin is normally reached by stairs, and marina boarding may involve steps or uneven surfaces. Send us the guest’s specific needs before booking so accessibility can be checked.
What should I bring?
Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, a camera, and a light layer for air conditioning. Guests prone to motion sickness may wish to seek suitable advice before sailing.
