Northern Wrecks, Tiran & Dahab

This Red Sea diving itinerary combines the most famous wrecks of the northern Red Sea with stunning wall dives and vibrant hard coral gardens.

Abu Nuhas – The Ships’ Graveyard

Dive the famous four wrecks of Abu Nuhas, located near the shipping route to the Suez Canal. This reef has claimed more vessels than any other in the Red Sea. Covered in coral, the wrecks are a dream for underwater photographers, especially the Carnatic, which sank in 1869.

SS Thistlegorm & Rosalie Moeller

Two of the most iconic World War II wrecks. The SS Thistlegorm, sunk in 1941 by German bombers while transporting military cargo to British troops, is a highlight of this trip. The Rosalie Moeller, a British coal freighter, met the same fate just two days later.

Ras Mohamed National Park

Located at the southern tip of Sinai, this park is famous for dramatic walls adorned with soft corals, sea fans, and enormous fish schools. Nutrient-rich sediments from the Gulf of Aqaba make this area a haven for marine biodiversity.

Strait of Tiran

Dive the legendary reefs of Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, and Gordon. These majestic coral structures rise from the depths and are frequented by large pelagics due to the strong, nutrient-rich currents.

Dahab Dive Sites

Explore world-renowned sites like the Blue Hole, The Bells, and The Canyon — geological and underwater marvels that mirror the dramatic Sinai mountains above.

Hurghada Reefs

The trip concludes with dives off the coast of Hurghada. Expect colorful walls and coral gardens teeming with life, perfect for all levels of underwater exploration.
