Site details

The largest wreck in the Red Sea, a roughly 175m cargo vessel that ran aground on the reef north of Sharm el-Sheikh in June 1996 while carrying phosphates and potash from Jordan; all 25 crew were rescued. It sits upright in about 24m with its starboard side against the reef and five huge cargo holds, dived as a multilevel route from the coral-encrusted stern crane forward to the bow and back along the deck. Because it lies at the exposed mouth of the strait it is weather dependent, with strong currents and swell.
