This week-long wreck and reef cruise leaves Hurghada for the northern Red Sea, with up to three dives a day. The route takes in Umm Gamar and the Abu Nuhas reef, where the Carnatic, Chrisoula K and Giannis D lie, then crosses to the SS Thistlegorm and the walls of Ras Mohammed National Park. From there you head north to the reefs of the Strait of Tiran, including Jackson Reef, before returning to Hurghada.
You drop down the shot line in green-blue water and the bow of the Thistlegorm comes out of the haze. Inside her holds, motorbikes and trucks still sit where they were loaded, crusted with coral. Later the same day you drift past a Ras Mohammed wall busy with butterflyfish and angelfish, a Napoleon wrasse hanging just off the reef. In the evening the deck smells of salt and neoprene as everyone sorts their photos from the wreck.
Trip Highlights & Key Regional Features
