Best underwater trip in Dahab: Semi-Submarine Scope
The Semi-Submarine Scope lets you see the Red Sea reef without getting wet. You sail out to the reef, then watch marine life through panoramic windows from an air-conditioned, glass-walled underwater deck about 3 meters below the surface, with an individual seat for each guest. Snorkeling is not part of this trip, which makes it a comfortable choice for young children, non-swimmers and older travelers.
- No swimming needed, observation only from the underwater deck
- Air-conditioned deck with panoramic windows and individual seats
- Soft drinks and an optional photo session included
- Space for 40 to 77 guests, with toilets on board

Do I need to know how to swim for a boat trip in Dahab?
Not for the Semi-Submarine Scope, where everyone watches the reef from the underwater deck. On the snorkeling yacht, a life jacket and a snorkel guide are provided, so you can snorkel with support even if you are not a confident swimmer.
