The SS Thistlegorm is probably the most famous wreck in the Red Sea. The British cargo ship was on its way to bring military equipment of all kinds for the British troops in North Africa. But then on the 6th of October 1941, a German bomber attacked the Thistlegorm. The wreck is lying upright on the sea bottom at 32m depth. Especially interesting is the cargo: Tanks, trucks, motorcycles, weapons, railway carriage, and two railway engines.

The reef at Abu Nuhas is famous for wrecks. There are 4 wrecks, which are today an attraction point for divers all around the world. For example, the Greek cargo ship GIANNIS D ran aground the reef on 19th April 1984 and sank a short time afterward. It is now lying in a maximum depth of 27 m and is overgrown with hard- and soft corals.

The Dunraven, a steam and sail-powered vessel used to transport spices and timber, ran aground the reef Sha' ab Mahmoud in April 1876 during a voyage from Bombay to Newcastle and sank quickly. The ship broke in two, and her two halves came to rest on the sea floor.

The marine park Ras Mohamed offers dreamlike diving spots, for example, SHARK REEF and YOLANDA REEF. Both reefs are standing on a plateau, which is between 10m to 20m deep. The edges of the plateau fall down to more than 200m. At the reef, you will find nice hard and soft corals and plenty of fish of all kinds of sizes. With luck, you can see sharks during your early morning dive. At Yolanda Reef, you can see the cargo of a Cypriot freighter YOLANDA which ran aground in 1980: a large quantity of household pottery such as toilets, bath and shower tubes, bidets…
