Bathyscaphe

🫧Bathyscaphe (Semi-Submarine) Excursion in Hurghada🫧

The bathyscaphe is a semi-submarine boat in Hurghada, which is one of the most unique and popular programs on the Red Sea. The panoramic windows are located at a depth of about 2-3 meters, so you can see with your own eyes the wonderful underwater world for which divers love these waters so much.

The boat is completely safe. The lower deck is air-conditioned, and comfortable, round seats next to the panoramic windows ensure undisturbed observation of the marine flora and fauna. This trip is especially popular among children of various ages, but adults are also often delighted by it – especially those who have never dived into the depths of the sea before.

A photographer also works on the boat, diving underwater with scuba gear to take special photos of you and your company from outside the submarine's windows. In addition, there is a spacious cabin on the first level that can accommodate up to 80 people. Here you can cool off from the hot sun, have a refreshment, or enjoy snacks available for purchase on board.

Following this, swimming and snorkeling await you among the coral reefs, providing perfect refreshment and wrapping up this half-day excursion in a cheerful mood.
