While diving you can discover trucks and motorcycles. Worth seeing is the stern with its machine guns and the locomotive on the ocean floor next to the wreck. Watch out for ammunition lying around!

Between 5 and 27 meters’ depth lies the beautifully overgrown wreck of the Ulysses. At Bluff Point there is a remarkable wall with small overhangs and fantastic corals.

Abu Nuhas:
Abu Nuhas ship graveyard on the Gubal Strait houses four wrecks at moderate depths. The Giannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K and Kimon M are overgrown with colourful corals and form artificial reefs for numerous fish, shrimp, octopus and moray eels.

Rosalie Moller:
If the weather and current conditions permit, the Rosalie Moller can also be dived. The legendary wreck lies in the Strait of Gubal and is considered one of the most beautiful wrecks in the Red Sea. Thousands of glassfish, jackfish, lionfish and snappers are found here. With a length of over 100 meters, the wreck offers plenty of space for discoveries.
