This fantastic itinerary takes in some gems of the Red Sea. If you’re a lover of wrecks, this could be the perfect trip for you. From arguably the best wreck in the world, the SS Thistlegorm, to Rosalie Moller and the four wrecks at Abu Nuhas, guests also get to experience the spectacular Ras Mohamed National Park, its beautiful reefs and abundance of aquatic life. This itinerary also takes in Tiran Islands with four reefs renowned for the diversity of their corals. Rich in historical wrecks, sensational reefs and vibrant marine life, this itinerary offers an unforgettable diving experience.
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.
Offering diverse marine life and amazing scenery, Tiran offers four unique reef systems - Gordon, Woodhouse, Thomas and Jackson. Named after four British cartographers, they're lined up in a row and are renowned for the diversity of their coral. We sometimes spot sharks, turtles and other species while diving 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.
