About this tour

• This tour takes you to the famous WRACKS in the north of the Red Sea, where fans of old sunken ships are guaranteed to get their money’s worth.
• First we go to Shaab El Erg, then the wrecks of Abu Nuhas are on the program, the Carnatic, Chrisoula K. Ghiannis D.
• The next wreck speaks for itself: The Thistlegorm, one of the most famous wrecks in the entire Red Sea. Sunk in 1941, the freighter with its motorcycles, trucks and offside locomotive captivates every diver.
• If weather and current conditions permit, it may be possible to dive the Rosalie Moller on the way back – a wreck that sank on the same night as the Thistlegorm and lies in the Strait of Gubal.
• Upon arrival in Hurghada, transfer to the ship in Hurghada, dinner and departure the next morning.

SS Thistlegorm

The English ship was on her way to Egypt to supply the English Africa Corps with supplies when she was attacked by a German bomber on 6.10.1941 and sank.

The wreck lies upright on the seabed at a depth of 30 meters.
The cargo is especially interesting: tanks, trucks, weapons, motorcycles, railroad cars as well as a locomotive.

The Thistlegorm is a must for every Red Sea diver. She is a delight for wreck enthusiasts, not to mention her spectacular cargo.

But she also offers a variety of fish. Schools of barracudas or big tunas and snappers are not uncommon here. As an artificial reef, it also attracts countless coral fish.
