North of Hurghada, the Red Sea resembles a shipwreck graveyard. Here, the sea splits into two arms of the Gulf, Aqaba and Suez. The Suez Canal remains one of the busiest trade routes. Numerous offshore islands and reefs have caused many ships to perish, creating a wreck paradise for divers today. Perhaps the most famous wreck is the...
The British freighter was bombed on October 6, 1941, during World War II, hit in the stern, and sunk. Despite effective defenses such as machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, nine crew members were unable to return to port. The remaining crew were captured by unknown persons and taken prisoner in Australia. In 1956, Jacques-Yves Cousteau set out to locate the wreck. The expedition team recovered some parts, including the captain's safe. However, this contained only decayed shipping documents. Cousteau never revealed the wreck's location, and so in 1991, German recreational divers resumed the search. The well-preserved wreck, its construction, and its cargo make it one of the most popular dive sites in the Red Sea today. Motorcycles, trucks, and even a railway wagon lie at a depth of approximately 30 meters. The steam locomotive's engine, which was thrown away by the enormous force of the explosion, also lies nearby. The bridge rises 17 meters high. The Thistlegorm is not just a pile of metal; the coral growth is also a pure delight and provides shelter for: Lionfish, scorpionfish and crocodilefish large schools of batfish and snapper Moray eels, barracudas, turtles Occasional sightings of Napoleon wrasse and blacktip reef sharks. A beautiful little biotope teeming with reef fish has developed over the years. The dive is suitable for all experience levels, but the current should not be underestimated. At 126 meters in length, penetration into the interior of the wreck is possible, but for safety reasons, the dive guide's instructions must be followed precisely. Given the ongoing corrosion, it is expected that the heavily stressed deck sections will eventually collapse. The remaining portion of ammunition and explosives is also decomposing. In 2007, HEPCA installed a system of anchor lines to ensure the preservation of this beautiful dive site for many years to come.

Abu Nuhas is a legendary reef in the northern Red Sea off the coast of Egypt, infamous among sailors and beloved by divers. The shallow, elongated reef lies near the Strait of Gubal – a busy shipping lane – and has claimed the lives of numerous cargo ships over the decades. Strong currents, navigational errors, and poor visibility have led to many vessels running aground and sinking. Today, at least five easily accessible wrecks rest close together on its northern side: the Carnatic , Giannis D , Chrisoula K , and Kimon M. Every dive at Abu Nuhas is a journey into history – with impressive wreck structures, fascinating cargo, and an abundance of marine life. An absolute highlight for wreck divers. Another very worthwhile wreck to see is the

The British coal freighter Rosalie Moller was built in 1910 and served as a supply ship during the Second World War. On October 8, 1941, she was sunk by German bombers – just two days after the famous Thistlegorm , which lies further south. The Rosalie Moller was at anchor when she was attacked by a German Heinkel He 111. She sank during the night to a depth of about 50 meters and remained virtually undiscovered for decades. The Rosalie Moller lies upright at a depth of approximately 50 meters, with the deck beginning at around 30 to 35 meters. The hull is still largely intact and impresses with its size, stability, and depth. The superstructure, winches, and cargo areas are well preserved – the original character of a coal transporter is clearly recognizable. The masts still stand, but are covered in coral and sponges. Due to the greater depth, visibility is often limited (10–20 meters), and the light is more subdued, giving the dive a mystical atmosphere. The bombs hit the Rosalie Moller on the starboard side and are still clearly visible today. The wreck now lies in a military restricted area, so diving is only possible on rare occasions. Its distinguishing feature is the large "M" on the funnel. The wreck provides shelter and habitat for numerous marine animals, e.g.: Large schools of glassfish and snapper Jewel bass, batfish, soldierfish Lionfish, groupers, moray eels Occasionally tuna and large barracudas. Blackspotted rays and Napoleon wrasse in the area The exact route and dive sites are weather dependent and may deviate from the planned route.
