Glass bottom boat tour
Yesterday I’ve been on the Glass bottom boat tour.
There are quite a few companies it seems, that offer them.
But it’s hard to actually find the right tours and the right people that sell them.
Well, in the end I managed to get one and it was alright.
They did try to sell me the “Submarine” tour, but I only wanted to “check the waters” and not go for the way more expensive tour.
After this trip I did figure that the submarine is worth the money though.
The glass bottom of the boat is about 1-2 meters away from you (I forgot to take a picture of that), add the distance to the corals and the fish and try to take pictures.
I still managed a few and the tour itself was worth the 6 Euro I paid for it.
I saw the underwater world, I saw the scenery, got some pretty shots overall and an idea of what to do next 
.
The submarine doesn’t go under water, but it has a window for each person and you actually “dive” right past the fish and corals.
It’s not really that expensive either (about 30 Euro).
Next weekend I will check out the tour to Ras Mohamed national park and / or to Tiran island.
The weekend after I might try the Submarine.

Thanks, FCM and Carver
Der Preis war in Ordnung, Ingrid.
Ich hatte halt gedacht, wir fahren etwas weiter raus, als nur bis hinter die "Hafen"oeffnung. Ausserdem hatte ich 1 1/2 Stunden verstanden. Es war nur eine knappe Stunde,mit nur 30 Minuten "unter" Wasser.
Aber wie gesagt, fuer die 6 Euro voellig in Ordnung. Ausserdem hab ich jetzt halt eine Idee, wie sowas aussieht, vonstatten geht und ob sich das "Submarine"lohnt
@Jo - I doubt it
@Quilly - $150?! That's ridiculous!
@Dan - Fins?
Nah, this was just a "normal" boat.
