NO you can't......
That being said, the wreck is at 30m+,have you ever been there(30+)?
can you prove it(logged dives of 30+)
If you can say YES,most likely you can find a dive op. that will take you,most won't.
It all depends on your number of dives,deep experiance.
Go do the AOW get some dives in and go have the dive.
Have fun,

I think the depth is not the problem, the deck is in 20 mtr. and you dont have to go to the bottom. The big problem is the current, you can have no current or very strong current and they can change during the dive. So i think the certification is not the issue , its your experience. There are some wrecks shallower in the area, but on some of them you will have strong currents. Get some more dives 30+ and than go on a liveaboard for the wrecks and reef tour, than you can dive a few wrecks and the beautiful reefs.

From the regulations point of view, yes you can if you're doing your AOW course dives.

There are 4 wrecks on abu Nuhas, they are great I like them and the currents there are not strong. I think you should try them.

I am not saying that there is no current there. I am saying that its not as strong as Thistlgorm.

Currents at Abu Nuhas could go strong so that the boat can't maneuver to drop divers and a RIB (and negative entry) are required.I am not saying that there is no current there. I am saying that its not as strong as Thistlgorm.
Although some OW divers have the experience to do so, certainly that's not an OW level.
