Dive the Red Sea Wrecks with South
Yorkshire Diving Academy
This is the classic Red Sea
itinerary. To the North of Hurghada, the Red Sea splits into two arms embracing
the Sinai
Peninsula, the Gulf of
Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba. The Mediterranean is connected to the Red Sea via
the man made Suez Canal that opens to the
very busy strait of Gubal, east of Hurghada. The straits of Gubal, being laden
with reefs, is consequently the resting place of many shipwrecks.
This itinerary combines the
most famous wrecks of the Red Sea with stunning walls, drop offs and reef
diving.
The trip includes; diving
the 'wreck graveyard' at Abu Nuhas. This reef lies close to the shipping lane of the Suez
Canal and has claimed more wrecks than any other. These wrecks are fairly open
and covered in beautiful coral-a photographers dream.
At the tip of the Sinai and
fed with nutrient rich waters from the Gulf of Aqaba is the National Park, Ras
Mohamed. It is famous for its breath taking walls and drop offs. It teams with
large shoals of fish, hard and soft coral gardens and magnificent fan corals.
