DIVING HIGHLIGHTS & BUCKET LIST DIVE SITES
Thistlegorm Wreck
The famous SS Thistlegorm World War II wreck is one of the highlights of this cruise. The SS Thistlegorm sunk in 1941, having been bombed by the Germans while on a mission to deliver a cargo of trucks, motorbikes, ammunition, and war materials to the British troops in North America.
Ras Mohammed National Park
Ras Mohammed has been described as one of the best diving sites in the world. Located at the tip of Sinai, famous for its breathtaking walls rich in soft and fan corals, and populated with huge shoals of fish. Nutrient-rich sediments from the Gulf of Aqaba attract many fish species and also feed the coral polyps creating a paradise for divers.
Abu Nuhas Wrecks
Dive the famous wrecks of Abu Nuhas, the Ships Graveyard. This reef lies close to the shipping lane toward the Suez Canal and has claimed more ships than any other in the Red Sea. The wrecks are very scenic, covered in corals and they are fantastic for photography, especially the Carnatic, having sunk in 1869.
