See I haven't done any big wreck diving, so I don't even know if I like it I probably wouldn't be able to make it down to BDE on a dayboat from sharm right? Is that liveaboard required? Or can you get there from Hurghada on a dayboat?
But your comments about Ras Mohammed definitely have me thinking I should scrap Sharm and use those extra days in Indonesia
Most of the wrecks I have seen in Florida were sunken for artificial reef. SS Thistlegorm is the real historical World War II wreck, a Brittish cargo ship sunk by German bomber aircraft in 1941, SS Thistlegorm - Wikipedia
It contained full of motorcycles, cars, rail cars, guns, ammunitions, etc. Unfortunately I was there with many other divers ahead of me already mucking up the visibility, so I couldn’t get a good picture of the wreck. If you can go there early in the morning before others that would be best.
There were many good videos of Thistlegorm wreck that you could see in YouTube to see if that would interest you or not, such as this one, below.
Yes, BDE would be too far south from Sharm El Sheikh Diving in BDE would be best done from liveaboard. I have seen some day boats going to Elphinstone to see the Oceanic Whitetip Shark (Carcharhinus Longimanus) which Elphinstone is famous for. I got lucky to see a couple of them swimming around us then.
