Want to dive into the magical underwater world of the Red Sea but not ready for diving? 🐠

Bathyscaphe in Hurghada is the perfect choice! 🛥️ It’s not exactly a submarine, but a unique vessel with panoramic windows, letting you explore the most beautiful corners of the sea depths while staying comfortable and safe.
- ⭐️ What makes this tour special?
- Imagine sitting in a cool, comfortable cabin with air conditioning, while right outside the round windows unfolds an amazing spectacle. 🌊 Vibrant corals, schools of colorful fish, graceful sea creatures — all just a few meters away at a depth of 2–3 meters! Pure magic that kids love, and adults can’t help but feel childlike wonder. 😍
- While you enjoy the views, a professional photographer with scuba gear 📸 will swim outside to capture incredible memories. Imagine showing friends photos of you against the backdrop of this underwater kingdom!
- The boat has a spacious upper deck where up to 80 people can relax, enjoy refreshments, and snacks, protecting themselves from the scorching Egyptian sun. ☀️
- Water and underwater adventures
- After exploring the underwater world, there’s another surprise: a stop at a scenic reef for snorkeling! 🤿 You can swim in crystal-clear waters with a mask and fins, feeling part of this amazing world. It’s the perfect end to your half-day sea adventure.
- Detailed day program (4–5 hours of joy!):
- Start: Pick-up from your hotel (around 10:30, 11:30, or 14:30) to the departure point. Travel time to the port: 15–40 min. 🚌

Additional Information:
- Additional Information About Your Tour
- In Hurghada, three large and comfortable bathyscaphes are used for tours. All offer spacious cabins and excellent facilities, with some small differences:
- One bathyscaphe has a spacious open upper deck, where you can enjoy the sun and sea breeze. Swimming is done directly from the boat.
- Another bathyscaphe has only a closed deck, but transports tourists to a special platform in the sea for swimming.
- We use modern, updated vessels that are much more comfortable and interesting than the old yellow bathyscaphes often offered by tour operators at higher prices. Those older boats usually lack closed cabins for rest, making them less comfortable in hot weather.
- ❗️Please note: specific boat selection is not possible, as allocation depends on availability and schedule at the time of the tour.
- All bathyscaphes in Hurghada cruise on government-approved routes near the central marina. While the reefs in these areas are not considered the most scenic, most tourists — especially children — are thrilled with what they see. The number of marine creatures may vary depending on weather conditions. 🐠

Questions & Answers:
We offer some of the lowest tour prices while guaranteeing high quality. We work directly with top tour organizers in Egypt, allowing us to avoid middlemen and give you the best deals. Booking with us means excellent service without extra costs. ✅
Comfort and safety on the road Your journey will be as comfortable and safe as possible, as we use only reliable transportation. 🚐 Our fleet includes cars, minivans, and modern buses, equipped with everything needed — from air conditioning to toilets on long routes. All vehicles undergo regular technical and sanitary inspections and have all necessary permits. For your peace of mind, drivers are checked by the tourist police before every long trip. ✅
Book without prepayment ✅ We operate on a postpayment system: you pay for group tours on the bus at the start of the trip. You don’t need to worry about giving money in advance — our staff will come to you. Exceptions are private tours or those requiring advance ticket purchases or document processing. Payment can be made in cash in USD, EUR, or EGP. For your convenience, we also offer prepayment via bank transfer in RUB, or EUR, as well as to a crypto wallet in USDT at the current rate. 💵
Egyptian laws strictly regulate tourism. To get permission for transport (bus or yacht) to operate, organizers must obtain daily approval from the police and military. Without a tourism license, this is impossible. 📜 That’s why for some tours we may need copies of your passport or vouchers. This mainly applies to sea trips in Hurghada, as well as private and some group tours outside the city. For other tours, group permission is enough, and your passport details are not required.
Your insurance is valid ✅ Some hotel guides may say that insurance doesn’t cover tours booked with third-party companies. This is not true. Your travel insurance for Egypt is valid throughout the country, no matter who organizes your activities. Additionally, any official tour organizer carries full insurance responsibility for passengers during the trip, whether by bus or boat. Otherwise, they simply wouldn’t receive the required permission to operate the tour.
We often remind tourists not to forget anything after tours. Unfortunately, if you leave something behind, retrieving it can be difficult, as all vehicles immediately go for cleaning, and Egyptian logistics have their own challenges. Of course, we always try to help locate items, but we cannot guarantee 100% success. If an item is found, delivery will cost $5–10. Please be careful and don’t forget your belongings. 👜
We receive many requests, so most of our tours run daily or on a fixed schedule. 🚌 The exact hotel pickup time will be provided right after booking. Often, you’ll join small groups with tourists who booked through other operators. The only difference is that our price is 40–60% lower. We work with the best organizers who run all main tours in Hurghada for tourists.
Please note that tour photographers are independent professionals, working for themselves or a photo studio. 📷 They are not affiliated with our service or tour organizers. All photography and payment terms are arranged directly with the photographer. We advise being careful with advance payments and obtaining all the photographer’s contact details beforehand. If you do not plan to use the photographer’s services, please inform them at the start to avoid misunderstandings.
