Coral and fish behind glass, for kids and non-swimmers in Sahl Hasheesh: Sea Scope, Panorama and Nefertari.
Not everyone wants to put on a mask, and that is fine. A semi-submarine has a viewing deck below the water line, so you sit in comfort and look at coral and fish through large windows while the boat stays on the surface. For young children, older travelers and non-swimmers staying in Sahl Hasheesh, it is a simple way to see the reef.
Three boats work this way. The Sea Scope starts from the marina in Hurghada and adds an optional snorkeling stop. The Panorama runs in Makadi Bay, south of Sahl Hasheesh, with a cool, air-conditioned deck. The Nefertari, also from Makadi Bay, is a pharaonic-style boat with an underwater deck, costume photos on a copy of Tutankhamun's throne, a snorkeling stop and a 3-course meal.
The fourth choice is private: a glass bottom boat for up to 8 people, with 3 hours on the water, fish watching through the glass floor and a stop to snorkel. On every trip here, pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Sahl Hasheesh are included, and each tour page shows the full list of what you get.

Absolutely. Nobody has to enter the sea, as you watch from a seat behind the glass.
Two start north of Sahl Hasheesh, at the marina in Hurghada: the Sea Scope and the glass bottom boat. The Panorama and the Nefertari go out in Makadi Bay, to the south, and the ride is included either way.
Children love dressing up for photos on the Nefertari, while the Sea Scope lets older kids jump in for a snorkel.
