Highlights
The most famous wreck, SS Thistlegorm, is the most well-known Red Sea wreck. German aircraft bombed the 129-metre English freighter on October 6, 1941. She constructed a man-made reef today on a sandy bottom at a maximum depth of 32 metres. She is particularly well-liked by giant schooling fish and is home to a huge variety of marine species.
Tiran diving area which is made up of four main reefs that form the top of an underwater bridge near the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba.
Abu Nuhas: Also called the "Ships Graveyard," this reef is dangerously situated close to the Gulf of Suez's busiest shipping routes. More ships have been lost on this reef than any other nearby. On the north side, a steeply sloping reef covered in layers of table corals has four wrecks The Giannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K, Kimon M all lying on a sandy seafloor.
Brothers Island exhibits an exceptionally high quantity of life. There are fish in abundance, in addition to fan coral forests, overhangs, and hard and soft corals in an astonishing variety of colors.

The Brother Islands
The Brother Islands, 60 miles off El Quesir, are part of the Marine Park Islands National Park and offer spectacular wall diving. Covered in soft corals and gorgonians, they attract diverse marine life, including tuna, barracudas, jacks, snappers, and sharks like hammerheads, silky, oceanic white tips, and the rare thresher. Grey reef sharks are common on Small Brother’s plateaus. Wreck divers can explore the Aida II and Numidia on Big Brother, both rich in coral and marine life. The trip ends with dives at Panorama Reef or the Salem Express near Safaga before returning to Hurghada.

SS Dunraven
The wreck of this 72 m long English steamer lies at the southern point of Shaab Mahmoud, amongst the series of shallow reefs and lagoons. Sunk in 1876 on its way from Bombay to England carrying a cargo of spices and timber, her hull lies upside down at a maximum depth of 29m. Completely covered in corals, the wreck has become home to a wide variety of marine life including glass fish, morays, groupers, goatfish and napoleon.

Sha`ab Abu Nuhas
This great reef, also known as the “ships graveyard”, emerges two miles to the north of Shedwan Island at the mouth of the Strait of Gobal. On the seabed of the surrounding area lie no fewer than seven sunken ships from different eras. It is often only possible to dive the wrecks from a zodiac due to the heavy sea swells. On the sheltered south side of the reef are two beautiful ergs known as Yellow Fish Reef. These make an excellent night dive.

Giannis D
This large Greek freighter hit the reef in1983 and slowly sank over six weeks. The wreck is split into two sections, lying at a maximum depth of 28 metres. The stern section is the most impressive because it can be entered through the many entry and exit points, although it can be disorientating due to the angle at which the wreck lies. The engine room is full of glass fish, and it is possible to observe all sorts of fish swimming by : snappers, jacks, eagle rays and sharks.

SS Carnatic
The Carnatic was a splendid 90 metre long sail and engine steamer launched by P&O in 1862. Carrying a cargo of wine and “London soda water” in distinctive oval bottles, it was sailing the Indies route with a destination of Bombay. It struck the reef in 1869 and remained aground a number of hours before sinking. She lies on one side with the stern at 24 metres and the bow at 16 metres. The decking of the hull has fallen away exposing blackened support structures which are now draped in hard and soft corals. The very photogenic wreck is now home to a number of morays, large grouper and octopus.

Jackson Reef
Most northerly of the reefs of Tiran and the northern limit of day boats from Sharm El Sheikh. The wreck of the “Lara” lies at the northern end. There is superb wall diving along its entire perimeter, with numerous buttresses and gullies. Sightings of sharks, turtles and other big fish are not uncommon and you will find a huge diversity of different corals and sponges as well as clouds of trigger fish, masked puffers and banner fish. At the point you may be lucky and spot a Hammerhead in summer.

Thomas Reef
Between Gordon and Woodhouse reefs, smaller round reef with walls plunging deep and fully covered with soft coral, gorgonians and colourful fish life. It is almost possible to circumnavigate this reef in one dive. The east wall plunges dramatically to great depths with a mass of brightly coloured soft corals. The west wall is darker with overhangs and caves but is a great drift dive with sightings of Trevally and Tuna in the blue and schooling reef fish close to the reef.

Ras Mohammed
Really several dive sites Ras Mohammed has earned itself a reputation as one of the top dive sites in the world, here at the tip of the Sinai where the vast bodies of water the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba meet has created an ecosystem like no other and wall diving at its very best.

The SS Thistlegorm
A short ride across the straits of Gubal and you visit the most famous wreck of the Red Sea, the SS Thistlegorm! An awe-inspiring World War II British vessel with a cargo full of armaments (Bedford trucks and BSA motorbikes), which were all destined for the British troops in North Africa. She was sunk by the German Luftwaffe and now lies in 30 metres of water. Depending on divers’ experience, weather and current conditions, we also try to offer a night dive here.
