What to Expect on This Expedition
SS THISTLEGORM
The Red Sea’s Legendary Wreck
The SS Thistlegorm is one of the world’s most famous wreck dives and a dream destination for almost every diver. This British WWII cargo ship still holds motorcycles, military trucks, locomotives, ammunition, and other wartime cargo preserved on the seabed.
A dive on the SS Thistlegorm combines history, adventure, and thriving marine life, making it one of the absolute highlights of this expedition.
Historic Wreck
Military Cargo

Abu Nuhas Reef is one of the Red Sea’s most famous wreck diving destinations. Within a relatively small area, several legendary shipwrecks rest on the seabed, each transformed over time into a thriving artificial reef.
Every dive tells a different story—from historic merchant vessels to coral-covered decks teeming with marine life.
