Route Description - North incl. Rosalie Moller-Brother Islands
Experience Egypt’s ultimate diving adventure in the Red Sea. Explore iconic wrecks like the SS Thistlegorm, Giannis D, and Rosalie Moller, and discover the vibrant reefs of Ras Mohamed Marine Park. Encounter sharks and stunning coral walls at the Brothers Islands, where thrilling dives and breathtaking marine life await seasoned divers.
SS Thistlegorm
Located 40 km from Sharm El Sheikh, the SS Thistlegorm is one of the most famous wreck dives in the Red Sea. This 125 m British army freighter sank in October 1941 after a German air raid. Now resting in two sections, it reveals wartime cargo such as trucks, motorcycles, and ammunition. The wreck, covered in coral and teeming with marine life, offers a haunting yet fascinating glimpse into World War II history.
Brother Islands
About 60 km off Egypt’s coast, the Big and Little Brother Islands are renowned for their vibrant reefs and thrilling dives. Little Brother dazzles with colorful corals and frequent shark sightings, including hammerheads and threshers. Big Brother features the Numidia and AIDA wrecks, both encrusted with corals. Due to strong currents and open-sea exposure, this site is best suited for advanced divers.
Ras Mohammed
This national marine park at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula offers iconic dives like Shark and Yolanda Reef. Divers descend along a dramatic plateau that drops to 200 m, surrounded by rich coral gardens and schooling fish. The Yolanda wreck’s cargo—bathtubs and toilets scattered across the seabed—adds a quirky touch to this photogenic site.
Rosalie Moller
Sister ship to the Thistlegorm, the Rosalie Moller lies upright at 50 m depth near the Straits of Gubal. Sunk just two days after the Thistlegorm in October 1941, this coal freighter is now cloaked in coral and swarmed by glassfish, lionfish, and groupers. Due to its depth and currents, it’s a challenging dive reserved for experienced or technical divers.
