Wrecks and Reefs is our premier Egyptian liveaboard itinerary for a reason. Dive into the best of the Northern Red Sea and uncover world-class wrecks and breathtaking reefs, day and night. The warm, clear waters are teeming with rich coral gardens and dramatic walls, brimming with marine life. Famous wreck dives are easily accessible, filled with history and intrigue.

Embark on your next scuba diving holiday adventure!
Ras Mohammed marine park is one of the most renowned areas for diving in the Northern Red Sea. Known for its stunning coral gardens and dramatic walls, we love spending our dives watching clownfish, napoleons, groupers, and snapper. Glassfish and anthias dart around, chased by the ever-present lionfish. Turtles are seen on many dives in both areas. Hunt out long-nosed hawkfish hiding in the gorgonian sea fans. Large schools of snapper, batfish, and barracuda aggregate in the blue, especially during June and July at Shark & Yolanda.
The Northern Red Sea is a wreck diver's delight. The almighty Thistlegorm offers unforgettable diving in to history. The Kingston, Dunraven, Giannis D, Carnatic, and Ulysses only add to the excitement. These 19th and 20th-century wrecks have become artificial reefs, each packed with unique artifacts that tell their story. Several resident pods of bottlenose dolphins can be spotted along this itinerary's route. Gubal Island is an excellent place to see them. Keep your eyes and ears peeled underwater here! Don't miss the night dive at Gubal, where the barge is home to resident giant morays, octopus, cardinalfish, nudibranchs, and more.
Wrecks and Reefs is the ideal itinerary for any experience level. However, some sites may have strong currents. Consult your travel advisor if you wish to complete your PADI advanced course or a specialty on board. Visibility is typically crystal clear, and water temperatures range from 20 to 28 degrees throughout the year. Travel times between dive sites are short, leaving more time for relaxation. Sites can be accessed year-round.
There is no doubt - few other dive destinations can offer the same quality and quantity of top dive sites in a single trip. Wrecks and Reefs keeps us all coming back for more, making this a scuba diving holiday you will never forget.

The park's diverse marine life includes everything from colorful reef fish to large pelagic species such as sharks and barracudas.
Another must-visit dive site is the Straits of Tiran, located at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba. The straits are home to four main reefs: Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, and Gordon. Each reef offers a unique diving experience, with vibrant coral gardens, dramatic walls, and an abundance of marine life. The straits are also known for their strong currents, making them a popular spot for drift diving.
Wreck Diving in the Northern Red Sea
The Northern Red Sea is also famous for its wreck diving. The region is home to several historic shipwrecks, each with its own unique story to tell. One of the most famous wrecks is the SS Thistlegorm, a British merchant navy ship that was sunk during World War II. The wreck is now a popular dive site, with divers able to explore the ship's cargo holds, which are still filled with military vehicles, motorcycles, and other wartime supplies.
Other notable wrecks in the Northern Red Sea include the SS Dunraven, a British steamship that sank in 1876, and the Giannis D, a Greek cargo ship that sank in 1983. Both wrecks have become artificial reefs, attracting a diverse range of marine life.
