Numidia
Red Sea Governorate · 8–80 m
The Numidia was a roughly 130 m British cargo steamer that struck the northern point of Big Brother Island in 1901 while bound for India. The wreck cascades down a steep drop-off from about 8 m at the bow to beyond 80 m, smothered in hard and soft corals. It is one of the two iconic Big Brother wrecks and a magnet for schooling fish and passing pelagics on the current-swept reef.

Police Station (Small Giftun)
Red Sea Governorate · 5–30 m
A popular drift dive on the south side of Small Giftun Island, marked by the moorings beside the Giftun police-station tower atop a 15-25 m plateau. Divers typically drop in near the station and ride the current along the deep wall and over the sloping reef. Soft corals, gorgonians and good fish action make it a classic Giftun National Park outing.

Ras Abu Soma (Soma Bay house reef)
Red Sea Governorate · 5–25 m
Ras Abu Soma is the headland house reef of Soma Bay, reached by a long jetty from the Breakers/Orca dive base or by short boat hop from Safaga. The site combines a sheltered training lagoon with a reef front and wall dropping to around 25 m, so it suits both snorkelers and experienced divers. Because it lies in the lee of the headland it remains diveable when offshore sites are blown out.

Rosalie Moller
Red Sea Governorate · 17–50 m
The Rosalie Moller is a 108 m British WWII collier and a sister ship of the famous SS Thistlegorm, sunk by German aircraft in October 1941 off Gubal Island near Hurghada. She sits upright on a sandy bottom with the main deck around 35 m, masts rising to about 17-18 m and the propeller and rudder visible on the deeper stern. Hard and soft corals now cloak the hull, and the holds and bridge can be penetrated although most artefacts have been removed.
