Conflicting reports have different numbers of people tragically dying, but an official number has not yet been confirmed.
The nationalities of the people on board is unclear, nor is the ratio of crew to passengers.
Hurghada is a popular tourist destination for British tourists and a number of nautical tours operate from the resort.
It comes after a German couple and their child drowned in a submarine accident off Hurghada in 2021.
Thirteen other tourists of different nationalities were rescued after the sub reportedly crashed into a coral reef.
The 2023 Titan sub disaster shocked the world after the custom-built submersible imploded as it dived down to the wreck of the doomed titanic.
A frantic but ultimately futile search was launched for the sub – but all five on board were killed instantly in the horror crush.
