DIVE SITES
The Dive Sites
Every site on this route, aboard M/Y Aphrodite from the Red Sea coast.
SS Thistlegorm
5–30m
The best-known wreck dive in the Red Sea — a 125m British army freighter 40km from Sharm El Sheikh, sunk October 1941 still loaded with tanks, aircraft, Jeeps and Bedford trucks. Split in two by a German bomber, easy to penetrate and covered in life.
The Brother Islands
5–80m+
Two isolated pinnacles 60km offshore — Big Brother and Little Brother. The walls are covered with sponges, anemones and soft corals in astonishing variety. Sharks are common: hammerheads, thresher, grey, silvertip and whitetip. Big Brother holds a lighthouse and the wreck Numidia.
Ras Mohammed
5–40m+
Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef on a 20m plateau falling to 200m+. Beautiful soft corals, plentiful fish and — with luck on the early dive — sharks. Yolanda still holds the cargo of a Cypriot freighter wrecked in 1980.
Abu Nuhas
5–27m
A reef famous for four wrecks. The Greek cargo ship Giannis D ran aground in 1983 and lies at 27m, overgrown with coral, leaning at 45° — easy to penetrate through the stern section, and wonderfully disorienting.
The Giannis D
5–27m
Lying in three sections — bow at 10m, a jumble of steel amidships, and an intact A-frame aft. Full of glassfish, scorpionfish, wrasse, the occasional napoleon and blue-spotted stingrays. A fun wreck dive for all certification levels.
