Diving Site: Abu Nuhas

Hurghada is separated from Abu Nuhas’ underwater graveyard by a 3 to 4-hour sail. More ships have perished on this underwater reef than any other in the Red Sea. The area is covered in the debris from previous ships, and there are more wrecks nearby.

The Red Sea became the most significant body of water around Egypt after the Suez canal opened in 1869. Due to the fact that the construction of lighthouses and beacons could not keep up with the growth in shipping activity, this area offers excellent wreck diving opportunities.
Below are at least four complete wrecks. The Chrisoula K, Kimon M, Carnatic, and Giannis D are their names.

Since Abu Nuhas is subject to current and wind, swells may be uncomfortable for novice divers.

Most people agree that the Carnatic is the most exquisite wreck on Abu Nuhas. The ship has been taken over by swaying glassfish curtains after being caught in heavy weather while travelling from Bombay to Suez. Groupers, lionfish, and jackfish are all present at this location, which furthers its undeniable reputation as a photogenic location.

Visibility and penetration vary. We also notably identify the Giannis D among the ships that are “intact.” This ship left Croatia with a huge load of wood and was headed towards Jeddah.
Varying visibility and penetration. We also notably highlight the Giannis D when referring to the “intact” ships. With a substantial load of wood, this ship was heading from Croatia towards Jeddah. She was included in the Abu Nuhas underwater cemetery in 1983.
