North of Hurghada the Red Sea divides into 2 arms, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez. The entrance to the Gulf of Suez, which has been heavily trafficked since the opening of the Suez Canal, is the Strait of Gubal. This is considered difficult to navigate due to a large number of reefs and islands. This was fatal for a large number of ships. Who hasn't heard of the 4 wrecks of Abu Nuhas or the Rosalie Moller and Thistlegorm? The North and Wreck Safari is characterized by excellent diving sites such as Bluff Point or Blind Reef with colorful soft corals and its very short driving distances.

SS. Thistlegorm 

Probably the most famous of the Red Sea wrecks. The 129m English Freighter was bombed by German aviation on 6th October 1941. Today she creates an artificial reef on a sandy bottom at 32m max depth. She is home to an enormous variety of marine life and is especially popular with large schooling fish.

Gubal Island

In addition to the attractive Ulysses, Bluff Point has another currently unknown wreck to offer in the north. Because of the prevailing strong current, gorgonians and soft corals are particularly strong and barracudas, like reef sharks, repeatedly cross the diver's path. In an extremely beautifully overgrown grotto below the anchorage you can discover all kinds of cleaner shrimps, pipefish and frogfish.

Rosalie Moller

The Rosalie Moller is considered one of the most beautiful wrecks in the northern Red Sea and lies on the western side of the large Gubal Island. It impresses with its incredible abundance of small schooling fish. Added to this is the diffuse atmosphere, as well as the almost perfect condition of the former coal transporter, which appears to be parked on the seabed. Because of its depth, the wreck is unsuitable for beginners. Strong currents are rare on the wreck.

Abu Nuhas

Also known as the “Ship Graveyard”. Who hasn't heard of the 4 wrecks of Abu Nuhas? This reef has more ships than any other in the area. On the north side of Abu Nuhas the four wrecks lie on a sandy seabed. Giannis D, SS Carnatic, Chrisoula K and Kimono M. There is a safe berth for liveaboard ships on the south side.

The exact liveaboard route and reefs visited depend on the weather and the diving experience of our guests.
