TL;DR
Glass-bottom boat trips start from $10/person when booked directly on the beach. Diving costs from $50 (shore) or $85 (boat). Full yacht excursion with breakfast and a dive runs around $79/person.
A combo tour booked through a hotel guide included a glass-bottom boat, parasailing, banana boat ride, yacht trip, snorkeling, diving, a visit to White Island, and lunch — $100 per adult.
One traveler considered the pricing too high overall, noting a yacht trip with diving, 3 stops and lunch runs around $40/person, while parasailing for two costs an extra $40.
A yacht + submarine trip cost $45/person when booked independently (the same tour through an Anex guide cost $75; other hotel guests paid guides $65-75 for it).
A tour-operator yacht trip with three stops and lunch costs $50/person, including all gear (vests, fins, masks) except diving and photos. Max 20-25 people on board, snorkeling done in groups of 5-6 with an instructor — noted for good safety organization.
Beach vendors in El Gouna offer diving directly: shore dives from $50, boat dives from $85. Prices are negotiable.
A glass-bottom boat trip was booked directly on the beach for $10/person — several times cheaper than through a tour guide. Fish sightings were limited but the trip went smoothly.
A full yacht day trip including breakfast, snorkeling, and a dive cost $79/person with no hidden extras. An onboard photographer offers a full photo package for $40, ready the next day.
