Explore the Red Sea's most famous wrecks - Abu Nuhas, El Mina and the legendary Thistlegorm.
The Red Sea is one of the world's great wreck-diving destinations, and Hurghada is the perfect base to explore it. From the legendary SS Thistlegorm - a WWII cargo ship still loaded with motorbikes, trucks and railway cars - to the cluster of wrecks at Abu Nuhas and the local El Mina, we run guided wreck trips for certified divers who want history and adventure under the surface.
Most Red Sea wrecks sit in recreational depths between about 10 and 30 metres, so Advanced Open Water certification (or the Deep adventure dive) and good buoyancy make them far more enjoyable. We dive the outside of each wreck by default; guided penetration is only for divers with Wreck training. Nitrox is recommended for longer bottom times, and our guides know each wreck's layout intimately.
To dive around the wrecks you need to be a certified diver (Advanced recommended for the deeper ones). To go inside, you need the PADI Wreck Diver specialty, which we also teach here.
Popular wrecks include the SS Thistlegorm, the Abu Nuhas wrecks (such as the Giannis D and Carnatic) and the El Mina near Hurghada, depending on conditions and your experience.
Most sit between 10 and 30 metres, within recreational limits, which is why Advanced certification and Nitrox are recommended for the best experience.
