Red Sea semi-submarine cruise: Sharm El-Sheikh underwater reefA semi-submarine cruise in Sharm El-Sheikh takes you 3 meters below the Red Sea surface in an air-conditioned observation deck with panoramic windows, where you watch coral reefs and exotic marine life for 45 minutes of viewing time.

Snorkeling Marsa Mubarak: Dugongs and Sea TurtlesSnorkeling at Marsa Mubarak and Small Shenwa near Marsa Alam puts you in the water with dugongs, green sea turtles, clownfish and vibrant coral reefs across two guided stops.

Between dives you have time to swim or snorkel without equipment if you want.Is it for me?The early 8 a.m. start and two back-to-back dives mean you're in the water by mid-morning and back at your hotel by afternoon, which works if you want the Red Sea dive without losing a full day to travel and waiting. The shallow first dive and instructor guidance suit anyone trying scuba for the first time, though the second dive at 10 meters and the full day on the water ask for comfort in the ocean.
