Wreck Thistlegorm:

The SS Thistlegorm Wreck is one of the best dive sites in the world and is actually considered by many as THE best Wreck dive in the World! The SS Thistlegorm is a World War II ship wreck located in the North of Red Sea in the Strait of Gubal. It is a former 128m long British transport ship that sank in 1941 after a German air attack.​

What’s really great on this Wreck are the artefacts that you can see underwater. There are 2 locomotives, 2 tanks, Army Trucks, jeeps, Motorbikes, Boots, stacks of rifles, and various spare parts of planes and cars. It is like diving within a piece of History! There are so many things to see that you need at least 2 dives to explore the entire shipwreck! It is really the perfect spot if you like wreck diving. Penetration is possible into the holds to discover the various items. You can also see the ship’s anti aircraft gun to this day.

The SS Thistlegorm Wreck lies now in 30m of water. The deepest point is the prop, about 32m deep and the shallowest part is only 16m deep. The current can sometimes be quite strong on this spot and can make the dive pretty challenging. The visibility is usually good but can be reduced by the silt in the water depending on the current and weather conditions. ​

The marine life around the Wreck is really great and you can encounter Batfishes, a resident turtle, Barracudas, Snappers, schools of Jacks and all the usual reef fishes of the Red Sea.
