Wreck week (North)

What you expect to see?

• The SS Thistlegorm is undoubtedly one of the most renowned shipwrecks in the world. Sunk in 1941 during World War II, this British freighter was on a mission to resupply the British Army in North Africa when it was attacked by a German bomber. The explosion broke the ship in two, and it now rests in 30 meters of depth. Divers can explore the wreck filled with military supplies, including trucks, cars, small tanks, arms, and two steam locomotives. The interior is easily penetrable, surrounded by a plethora of marine life, making it a must-visit for experienced divers.
• The SS Dunraven, a sail- and steam-powered ship, met its fate in 1876 when it crashed into a reef near Beacon Rock. The ship was carrying a cargo of cotton and spices and was en route to the Suez Canal. Today, the wreck lies near the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula at Shaab Mahmoudat, offering divers a glimpse into maritime history. The stern of the Dunraven remains fairly intact at a depth of around 25 meters, with parts of the superstructure reaching almost to the surface. The bow is also relatively intact at around 18 meters, providing divers with a unique underwater exploration experience.
• The Giannis D, a 100-meter-long cargo ship, met its end in 1983 when it ran aground on the treacherous reef of Sha’ab Abu Nuhas. The ship's stern remains intact at a depth of around 25 meters, while the bow is relatively preserved at around 18 meters. Divers can explore the wreck, which is suitable for novice divers, offering an opportunity to swim through the vertical iron supports and explore the interior of the ship.
• The Carnatic, a steamship built in 1862, met its demise in 1869 due to a navigational error that caused it to crash into a reef near Abu Nuhas. The wreck of the Carnatic now lies underwater for more than 150 years, transformed into a thriving artificial reef. Divers can explore the 297-foot-long British vessel, adorned with brilliant soft and hard corals, and discover the remnants of its cargo, including cotton, copper sheeting, Royal mail, wine, and gold coins. The wreck offers an intermediate-level dive with depths between 18-28 meters, providing a fascinating journey into maritime history. These shipwrecks in the northern part of the Red Sea offer divers a unique opportunity to explore history beneath the waves, providing a memorable and enriching experience for underwater enthusiasts.
• Nestled at the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Ras Mohamed National Park is a diver's paradise, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the Red Sea's rich marine ecosystem. As part of your liveaboard trip, you'll have the opportunity to explore this renowned dive site, where the convergence of the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba creates a unique and thriving underwater world. Descending beneath the waves, you'll be greeted by a kaleidoscope of color and life. Vibrant coral reefs, teeming with a diverse array of tropical fish, create a breathtaking backdrop for your underwater adventure. From the graceful movements of schools of barracuda and Bohar Snapper to the mesmerizing dance of clownfish among the anemones, every moment spent exploring Ras Mohamed will leave you in awe of the ocean's natural beauty.
