Hurghada liveaboard diving trip: Shipwreck enthusiasts will love our Red Sea wreck diving tour. It offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore some of the world's most famous wrecks. This 8-day liveaboard diving trip takes you to spectacular underwater monuments. For example you will visit the SS Thistlegorm and the wrecks at Abu Nuhas, among other legendary sites in the Red Sea. This journey blends historic wrecks, vibrant reefs, and exciting shark encounters, and it provides a diverse experience for every diver.
The SS Thistlegorm remains the crown jewel among Red Sea wrecks. Sunk during World War II, it holds cargo ranging from military vehicles to weapons. Divers can explore the ship's holds filled with motorbikes, trucks, and even locomotives, all preserved remarkably well. The abundance of marine life, which includes large schools of fish, makes this site a favorite among underwater photographers and marine biologists alike.
At Abu Nuhas, people know it for its treacherous reefs, you will find the final resting places of ships like the Giannis D and the Carnatic. The Giannis D, a Greek cargo ship, is split into two parts. It offers divers the chance to swim through the wreck and observe the colorful coral growth. The Carnatic, a 19th-century British clipper ship, lies on its side, covered in hard and soft corals, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into the past.
The Dunraven, a British steamship filled with spices and cotton, and the Chrisoula K, a freighter that transported tiles, bridge the past and present, showing the evolution of maritime trade. The Dunraven's wreck is particularly captivating, with its hull broken in two and a wealth of marine life making it their home. The Chrisoula K, people call it often the "Tile Wreck," offers divers the chance to see the remains of its tile cargo scattered across the seabed; they create a unique and photogenic landscape.
The Kimon M, you may know it as the "Lentil Wreck," completes this series with its cargo of lentils now surrounded by marine life. This site is a favorite for night dives. At this time the ship's structure comes alive with nocturnal creatures and the eerie glow of bioluminescent plankton. Furthermore the wreck's accessible depth and clear waters make it ideal for both novice and experienced divers.
There are great diving personalities like Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who significantly influenced modern diving, and Dr. John Bevan, a pioneer of underwater archaeology. In fact they may not be directly connected to these wrecks, but their legacy inspires divers worldwide. Their curiosity and exploratory spirit live on in every diver who explores these wrecks. Cousteau's pioneering work in underwater exploration and Bevan's contributions to understanding underwater sites resonate through the diving community. Undoubtedly they encourage a deeper appreciation for these submerged historical treasures.
Underwater photography enriches this journey further. The unique motifs these wrecks offer, from impressively overgrown structures to historical relics, are a dream for any photographer. Equally important is the awareness of environmental protection. It is essential to preserve these artificial reefs and the conservation measures for marine biodiversity. Accordingly divers are encouraged to practice responsible diving. Whenever they dive, they should ensure not to disturb the fragile ecosystems around these wrecks.
