North, Wrecks & Brothers Islands cruise's diving spots

Shaab Abu Nuhas

Located on the north coast of Shadwan Island, about 40 km from Hurghada, this spot is flush with the surface. The north side of the reef is home to 4 wrecks including Carnatic, Giannis D and Chrisoula K. If their common point is a collision with the reef, their story is different and will be subject to detailed briefing on board.

South of Sharm El Sheikh

After Ras Mohamed, we find Shaab Mahmoud. The southern part of the reef is home to the Dunraven wreck. It rests on a sandy bottom and beautiful hard and soft corals have settled there. The reef itself is nice, rich in corals and different species of fish can be found.

Ras Mohamed National Park

The national park is characterized by magnificent landforms. Due to its location on the Sinai Peninsula, at the junction of the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba, the salinity of the water is variable and offers a spectacular range of reefs, various types of fish, various corals and lush walls. Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef are the most popular spots in Ras Mohammed. They offer the opportunity to observe every species of fish in the Red Sea.

SS Thistlegorm Wreck

This wreck is located in the Gubal Strait, between the Shaab Ali reef and the Sinai coast. It is probably the most famous wreck of the Red Sea. The British freighter was attacked by a German bomber in 1941. The wreck is laid on the bottom at 32m depth. Tanks, trucks, motorcycles, weapons and railway engines are particularly well preserved and interesting to observe.

Brothers Islands

Are located about 150 km from Port Ghalib (Marsa Alam) and are classified as a national park. The distance between Big and Little Brother is about 1 km. Their location exposed to currents is a meeting point for large pelagic that come up from the depths, as well as sharks. Big Brother is home to 2 wrecks: Numedia in the north and Aida in the northwest of the island. Both are directly on the reef, well preserved, covered with coral and accessible under current depth limits.

Safaga

Safaga is located about 60 km from Hurghada. The dive sites are varied and offer several types of dives. Among them, Panorama reef or Abu Kefan whose falls are vertiginous.
