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.
