SS. Thistlegorm – Shaab Ali:

Any Red Sea diver must dive the mysterious SS Thistlegorm.

It's a wreck enthusiast's dream, not the least of which is her magnificent cargo.

But it also offers a variety of fish. Schools of barracuda or large tuna and snapper are not uncommon here.

As an artificial reef, it also attracts countless coral fish. Worth seeing is the stern with its guns, the midship and foreship, the bow and the cargo, as well as the vehicles, the two locomotives, the tender and the water wagon.

The currents at the wreck are moderate, sometimes strong. Visibility is generally moderate and there are often many boats on site.

The early morning hours are recommended as the best diving time.

Gubal Island:

Close to Tawila Island is Gubal Island, a popular snorkeling and diving spot due to the Straits of Gubal. The Straits of Gubal is where the water from the Gulf of Suez meets the Red Sea, leading to lots of nutrient-rich currents over shallow areas, which attracts tons of marine life. Besides the underwater action, Gubal also has pristine white beaches where you can set up BBQs and beach activities for the day.

Along with the picturesque Ulysses, Bluff Point also contains another undiscovered wreck to the north.

Rosalie Moller:

Gorgonians and soft corals are exceptionally robust due to the prevailing, strong current, and barracudas and reef sharks frequently cross the diver's path. Below the anchorage, there is a very gorgeous overgrown grotto where you may find a variety of cleaner shrimp, pipefish, and frogfish.

It convinces with the unbelievable wealth of small schooling fish.

This is enhanced by the hazy sky and the former coal transporter, which is in almost pristine shape and appears to be parked on the ocean floor.

Because of the depth, the wreck is unsuitable for beginners. Strong currents are rather rare on the wreck.

Abu Nuhas:

Also known as “Ship Graveyard”. Who has not heard of the 4 wrecks of Abu Nuhas.

This reef has more ships than any other in the area.

On the north side of Abu Nuhas, the four wrecks lie on a sandy seabed. Giannis D, SS Carnatic, Chrisoula K and Kimono M.

On the south side there is a secure berth for liveaboard vessels.

Salem Express:

The Salem Express has earned a reputation as one of the world's most poignant dives and a controversial addition to our list of best wrecks in the Red Sea.

his passenger ship ran aground in 1991, claiming the lives of hundreds of pilgrims returning from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. Salem Express diving feels like a trip to hallowed ground, with passengers’ personal items littering the hallways, cabins, and surrounding seafloor.

The wreck's internal passageways have been sealed shut, closed to divers out of respect for the huge loss of life.
