This journey gives you the chance to see famous Red Sea wrecks and immaculate reefs as well as the Tiran diving area which is made up of four main reefs that form the top of an underwater bridge near the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba. These reefs, which bear the names of four British cartographers (Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, and Gordon), are renowned throughout the world for their astounding coral diversity and for being a haven for numerous huge pelagic fish due to the strong southwesterly currents.

The most famous wreck, SS Thistlegorm, is the most well-known Red Sea wreck. German aircraft bombed the 129-metre English freighter on October 6, 1941. She constructed a man-made reef today on a sandy bottom at a maximum depth of 32 metres. She is particularly well-liked by giant schooling fish and is home to a huge variety of marine species.

The barrier that Shaab Mahmoud is creating has a small crack in the middle of it. Drift alongside stunning corals and colourful marine life around the outside wall. To get up and through the crack, look for a sand slope. You can fly through the 5-metre-deep passage when the current is perfectly right and be launched into the sandy lagoon! Gubal Island: The 'Bluff Point' near the gateway to the Straits of Gubal gets its name from the turbulence created by the strong currents that beat along the island's eastern wall. On the reef 300 metres north of the lighthouse, the wreck of the "Ulysses" is located. Its depth ranges from 5 to 25 metres. Divers can find "The Barge" wreck south of the lighthouse, which offers divers a unique and enjoyable night dive. All varieties of nighttime creatures are protected by the wreck's skeleton.

Abu Nuhas: Also called the "Ships Graveyard," this reef is dangerously situated close to the Gulf of Suez's busiest shipping routes. More ships have been lost on this reef than any other nearby. On the north side, a steeply sloping reef covered in layers of table corals has four wrecks The Giannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K, and Kimon M all lying on a sandy seafloor. A secure anchorage for liveaboards is located on the southern side, which also offers amazing night dives. Dolphins are regular visitors to this reef. At the extremity of the Sinai Peninsula, there is a dive location known as Ras Mohamed Reef. A vertical wall that descends into the abyss connects two little ergs. You may drift along the wall at Shark Reef, which is covered in vibrant corals. As you approach Yolanda Reef, a plateau dotted with little ergs and coral outcrops appears. As you circle the reef further, you will come across the wreckage of the Yolanda, complete with its cargo of bathrooms and toilets. Keep an eye on the blue since large fish inhabit the entire territory!

Jackson Reef is the farthest reef, and a cargo wreck on its northern side serves as a sharp warning to ships navigating the congested straight. The moorings on the south side, which are protected from the main wave and currents, are where dives are typically conducted. As you travel north, you will come across an impressive forest of Gorgonia fan coral at depths of 20 to 30 metres, along with a wide variety of reef species. Of the four reefs in the Strait of Tiran, Woodhouse Reef is the longest. It is a drift diving site and is frequently dived from south to north. It is home to reef sharks and eagle rays. There is a wall to the south of the reef that drops off to around 30 metres and is entirely covered in coral. At around 25 metres along the reef, there is a canyon that expands into a coral garden with a sandy bottom.

The smallest reef in the Strait is Thomas Reef, and diving there is dependent on the weather because of the extremely strong currents. With a sizable plateau at around 25 metres on the southeastern side, the ends are vertical walls. On the sand areas of this plateau, there are frequently sleeping sharks, and the colourful coral has a fence made of Gorgonia fans at the end.

The most southerly of the four reefs, Gordon Reef, has a different topography from the others, with a shallow plateau and drop-offs. Large schools of grouper and a large variety of reef fish may be seen here. At a depth of 4 to 5 metres, an eel garden can be seen on the sandy bottom. The wreck Lovilla, which is practically parallel to the wreck on Jackson Reef and is located at the top of the reef with its lighthouse.
