All this for: Ž£899 per person (based of two people sharing)

**** This is a must sell trip, and I am happy to neogtiate on price!


Here are the dive sites/itineraries the trip includes:


Big Brother

A 400 metre long island offering fabulous wreck diving and wall diving. The wreck of the Numidia lies on the northern tip between 10 and 80 metres. The north-west side of the island houses the wreck of the Aida. Every section of this reef is covered with corals and life.

Salem Express

A large roll-on, roll-off car ferry which hit the reef off Safaga in 1991. Its size alone makes for an impressive dive and although years have passed since the tragic incident, it can be an intensely moving experience. Now lying on its starboard side (30m max depth), the wreck has been colonised in places by large soft corals, especially visible on the starboard propeller. However, vast areas of the wreck remain clearly identifiable and reveal the sheer speed in which she went down.
SS. Thistlegorm - Shaab Ali

Probably the most famous of the Red Sea wrecks. The 129m English Freighter was bombed by German aviation on 6th October 1941. Today she creates an artificial reef on a sandy bottom at 32m max depth. She is home to an enormous variety of marine life and is especially popular with large schooling fish.

Abu Nuhas

Also known as the 'Ships Graveyard', this reef is dangerously positioned close to the busy shipping lanes of the Gulf of Suez. This reef has claimed more ships than any other in the area. On the north side are four wrecks laying on a sandy seafloor at the bottom of a steep sloping reef layered with table corals. On the south side is a safe anchorage for liveaboards and two ergs, known as Yellow fish reef.

Ghiannus D - Abu Nuhas

In 26m of water and leaning to port with a fully intact stern section and an impressive engine room packed with glass fish.

Carnatic - Abu Nuhas

A British P&O steamer which struck the reef in 1869. She lays in 29m and now the whole hull is draped in multicoloured soft corals. The wreck is home to glass fish, octopus, morays, jacks and tuna cruise overhead.

Tile Wreck - Abu Nuhas

There is much discussion over the true identity of this wreck. Sunk in 1978 fully laden with stone floor tiles, she now lies from 4m to 30m.

Lentil Wreck - Abu Nuhas

A cargo vessel which sank in 1978 whilst carrying a heavy load of lentils. She rests at 30m on her starboard side. The bow area is completely destroyed but the main section and propeller areas are good to explore.
