Основные моменты
The Thistlegorm Wreck
The famous SS Thistlegorm Merchant Navy ship is one of the best wreck dive sites in the world and the most popular one in the Red Sea. The ship lies in 33 meters (108 feet) of water on the west coast of the Sinai Peninsula, about 40 km (24 miles) from Sharm El Sheikh. After being in the water for dozens of years, the wreck is now a beautiful artificial reef where divers can still observe many of the wartime supplies it carried. Tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, trucks, jeeps, motorbikes, and rifles are just some of the incredible things you can spot on the ship.
Panorama Reef
Panorama Reef is a colorful block of coral that offers panoramic views in its plateaus and vertical walls. It’s one of the largest reefs in its area and more than one dive is required to explore all of its features. The reef is covered in hard corals on the steep slopes and soft corals around the plateaus. Panorama Reef offers divers the chance of seeing an abundance of marine life, including white-tip sharks, grey reef sharks, hammerheads, eagle rays, barracudas, and tunas.
Straits of Tiran
The Straits of Tiran are arrow sea passages located in the Gulf of Aqaba. They’re one of the best drift dives in Egypt, more suitable for advanced divers because of the strong currents and depth. Here, divers can explore Jackson Reef, Thomas Reef, Woodhouse Reef, and Gordon Reef. The reefs are teeming with fish and offer steep drop-offs where one can admire pelagic creatures. Hammerheads and tiger sharks are just some of the larger animals you can encounter here.
Giftun Island
Giftun is a small island less than an hour away from Hurghada and the ideal destination for some of the best drifts in Egypt. After taking the plunge, divers drift along a wall of reef with a spectacular display of gorgonian corals. The reef levels out to a sandy plateau with more life than the wall. Stingrays, sea turtles, giant morays, stonefish, scorpionfish, crocodilefish, Napoleon wrasses, barracudas, and tunas are some of the sea creatures you can spot here.
