The Red Sea's famous 'ships' graveyard' - dive the Giannis D, Carnatic and Chrisoula K wrecks, now covered in coral and full of fish. For certified divers; boat, guide, equipment and free hotel pickup included.
Abu Nuhas is a reef on the northern Red Sea famous for its shipwrecks, and this is a full-day boat trip for certified divers. After morning pickup we cruise to the site and dive two of its wrecks — such as the 'Giannis D' or the 'Carnatic' — which sit in recreational depths and are draped in coral and glassfish. Two guided dives, lunch and drinks on board, and a guide who knows each wreck's layout are all included.
Wreck dives reward good buoyancy and air control. We dive the outside of the wrecks by default; penetration is only for divers with the right training. Nitrox is recommended and available.
Abu Nuhas trips run as the weather allows, since the reef sits on an exposed stretch of the northern Red Sea, so we watch conditions closely and suggest the best day during your stay. Underwater photographers love the wrecks' glassfish clouds and coral-encrusted beams.
No — you dive around the outside of the wrecks with a guide. A Wreck or Advanced course is only needed if you want to go inside.
The main wrecks sit in recreational depths, mostly between 10 and 30 metres, so they suit Advanced-level divers well.
