旅程的高潮

• The SS Thistlegorm is probably the most famous Wreck in the Red Sea.
• The reef at Abu Nuhas is famous for wrecks. There are 4 Wrecks, which are today an attraction point for divers all around the world. For example the Greek cargo ship Giannis D, which ran aground the reef on 19th April 1984 and sank a short time afterwards.
• The steamship Carnatic struck the reef in September 1869. She sank the following day as the weather worsened.She lies in about 26 m depths.
• The Dunraven, a steam and sail-powered vessel used to transport spices and timber, ran aground the reef Sha'ab Mahmoud in April 1876 during a voyage from Bombay to Newcastle and sank quickly.
• The marine park Ras Mohamed offers dreamlike diving spots. For example Shark and Yolanda Reef. Both reefs are standing on a plateau, which is between 10 m to 20 m deep. The edges of the plateau fall down to more than 200 m. At the reef you will find nice hard and soft corals, plenty of fish in all kind of sizes. With luck you can see sharks during your early morning dive. At Yolanda Reef you can see the cargo of a Cypriot freighter Yolanda which ran aground in 1980: a large quantity of household pottery such as toilets, bath and shower tubes and bidets.
• Safaga offers an impressive variety of dive sites with intact coral reefs and the opportunity to observe reef fish and macro creatures.
