This route is the perfect combination of wrecks, reefs and shark action. This route has plenty to offer for every diver's taste. From diving the arguably best wreck dive in the world - the legendary SS Thistlegorm to experiencing some of the most vibrant and healthy reefs in the world
Arguably one of the most famous and best wrecks in the world, the SS Thistlegorm was sunk in World War II with a full load of trucks, ammunition and supplies. She's a living museum of the war and should be dived at least twice to get a real taste of the wreck and all her cargo, which is scattered around the site. When conditions permit, night dives are an amazing experience and an opportunity to explore a special piece of underwater history.
These islands offer some incredible marine life with the possibility of spotting hammerheads, oceanic white tips, silky sharks, manta rays and the occasional thresher shark. You may also see jackfish, snappers and large tuna. Brothers offer incredible wall diving and two wrecks on the Big Brother – Aida at 30-60m and Numidia at 10-85m (not for recreational divers). This is a spectacularly diverse location, packed with vibrant corals and forests of gorgonians. With breathtaking scenery, there are over a dozen world-class sites that can be dived here.
Home to vibrant and healthy coral reefs and a family of friendly bottlenose dolphins, the Gubal Islands offer several dive sites and two exceptional wrecks. The Ulysses sits on her port side at maximum depth of 28m. A stunning artificial reef that's bursting with marine life, wreck penetration is straightforward and easy. The opportunity to explore the cargo scattered around the wreck gives a fascinating insight into the goods carried along the Suez in the late 19th Century. The Barge sits at 15m and we moor directly above her. She's one of the best night dives in the Red Sea and offers incredible opportunities for photography. There are thousands of fish on this wreck. Keep a look out for George and Georgina, two peaceful giant morays who've made the Barge their home.
One of the most beautiful and protected dive locations in the world, Ras Mohamed national park offers over a dozen exceptional dive sites. Full of vibrant marine life, it's not to be missed! With visibility up to 40m (dependent on weather conditions), you'll encounter an incredible variety of species including jacks, snappers and tuna and occasional sharks and rays. The iconic wreck of the Yolanda can also be found here with its payload of toilets scattered around her. Please note that night diving is prohibited within the national parks.
Four wrecks situated close together make this an excellent location for wreck divers and underwater photographers, with all being suitable for recreational divers. Giannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K and Kimon M are covered in soft and hard corals and there are often bottlenose dolphins in the area. The engine room and machine rooms are easily accessible on the Chrisoula K and Giannis D.
