SS Thistlegorm
Located off the west coast of the Sinai Peninsula, the SS Thistlegorm is one of the Red Sea’s most famous wreck dives. This 125-meter British freighter sank in 1941 after being bombed during World War II while carrying military supplies such as tanks, trucks, and motorcycles. Today, the well-preserved wreck lies at 32 meters and offers divers a fascinating glimpse into wartime history.
Ras Mohammed
Ras Mohammed Marine Park is a diver’s paradise known for vibrant reefs like Shark and Yolanda. The plateau ranges from 10 to 20 meters deep and drops to over 200 meters, teeming with colorful corals and marine life. At Yolanda Reef, divers can still see the scattered cargo of the sunken Cypriot freighter Yolanda, including bathtubs and toilets, now beautifully encrusted with corals.
Gotta Abu Nugar South
Part of the Abu Nugar reef system, this sandy-bottom site features scattered coral heads ideal for spotting small fish and critters, offering a relaxing and scenic dive experience.
Abu Nuhas
Known as the “Ship Graveyard,” Abu Nuhas hosts four famous wrecks, including the Giannis D and Carnatic. Resting at depths of around 27 meters, these coral-covered wrecks are accessible to divers and provide unique opportunities to explore inside sunken ships rich with marine life.
Straits of Tiran
Situated north of the Sinai Peninsula, the Straits of Tiran feature four spectacular reefs: Gordon, Thomas, Woodhouse, and Jackson. Each reef offers distinct underwater scenery, from colorful coral gardens to deep canyons and drift dives. Divers can encounter sharks, tuna, barracuda, and schools of reef fish amidst vibrant soft corals and dramatic drop-offs, making it one of the Red Sea’s top diving destinations.
