19th Century Wreck Diving

If something characterizes the Red Sea, it is the variety of wrecks from different eras that we can find and dive from a few meters deep. Since the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, the Red Sea inevitably became a mandatory passage for all merchants and sailors worldwide. But this sea, which hides a paradise for divers in the form of reefs, was a deadly trap for the thousands of vessels that sailed these waters for over a century.

Participating in the Red Sea wreck route, you will dive on some of the best wrecks in the entire Red Sea, with the most spectacular dives in the Gubal Strait and the northern route. This route, only accessible from liveaboard dive boats, mainly departs from Hurghada and visits the reefs of Abu Nuhas where the wrecks of Giannis D, Carnatic, Kimon M, and Krisoula rest, a true paradise for wreck enthusiasts. Then, in the Gubal Strait, you will dive on the old Ulysses, Kinsgstone, and Dunraven, and delve into modern history by visiting two incredible wrecks sunk during World War II: SS Thistlegorm and Rosalie Moller. Some routes include visits to two overwhelming wrecks further south, the Salem Express and the Numidia. Variety, history, and excitement are guaranteed in one of the most sought-after routes by divers worldwide.

While it is a highly demanded route, departures are not as frequent as other popular routes like the classic northern route or Brothers. If you want to dive on the northern route with the most wrecks, we recommend that you make your reservation at least 6 months in advance.
