Sharm El-Sheikh: Semi-Submarine Underwater Coral Reef Viewing

The semi-submarine takes the glass bottom boat concept to a thrilling new level: instead of looking down through the floor of a surface vessel, guests descend into the below-deck cabin and sit at large porthole windows that sit directly at and below the waterline, bringing you into face-to-face proximity with the reef. This 90-minute tour operates along one of the richest coral reef corridors near Sharm El-Sheikh, and from your porthole seat, the underwater world fills your entire field of vision — not a framed rectangle in a floor, but an immersive panorama of colour, movement, and marine life just centimetres from the glass. Brain corals the size of washing machines, forests of staghorn and table corals, electric-blue surgeon fish, parrotfish working at the reef, grouper lurking in shadows, and the occasional gliding ray all feature on a typical cruise. The semi-submarine is fully air-conditioned, accessible to wheelchair users and guests with limited mobility, and perfectly suited for families with young children who may not yet be old enough to snorkel. An onboard guide provides species identification and ecosystem commentary throughout. Light refreshments included.
