The seas parted due to divine intervention at God's command, although Moses played a crucial role.
According to Exodus 14:21 & 22, at God's command, Moses held his staff out over the water, causing the water to part. The Israelites then walked through on dry land with a wall of water on either side.
Therefore, while Moses acted on God's command, the ultimate power behind moving the seas was attributed to God. The Israelites then traversed the parted sea.
