Site details

Excalibur is a steel cargo vessel that rests upright on a flat sandy bottom at about 18-22 m off Hurghada, a short boat hop or swim from shore. Years of growth have turned the hull into an artificial reef, with soft coral on the deck rails and large schools of glassfish in the wheelhouse. Sitting at Open Water depth and lying perfectly upright, it suits divers of all levels with the holds and engine room reserved for more experienced visitors.
