Dived with 'Idive' at Makadi bay. Great people,Italian. Many small dive sites and a great house reef from the beach.

Carnatioc is a great dive, Penetration possible for calm divers, though space is not great. Superstructure all intact, dolphin on the surface ... great dive.

Dived with Aquarius - a good outfit at the marriott. Some really good dives here, but some of the sites were quite crowded at times. Handy tip - never dive with a hungover Russian!

We have dived Hurghada in March 2005, September 2007 and June 2008 and can hardly wait until our next visit in April 2009, staying at the Dana Beach Hotel and diving with Undersea Adventures - a professional and friendly company who now feel more like family!

Nice divesites, although on some spots a lot of unexperienced divers have wrecked the coral reefs.

Hurghada is a very good place for all kind off divers from beginners to advanced. Good spotes and good dives.

The most incredible part of this entire shipwreck is that, whilst the ship went to the bottom in two separate halves, those two halves then fell together on the seabed - just as they might have done had the ship gone down as one piece.
Today the Carnatic is found at the base of the Reef and lies parallel to it. She is on her port side with the bows facing east. There are three distinct elements to this dive; The fore and aft sections are still largely intact and are joined together by the most damaged area where the ship was broken and the engine room was located. |

Very interesting dive considering the history and age of the wreck, best seen on a very sunny day so the sunlight coming through the wreck adds to the atmosphere. Bonus point- a turtle cruised close by when we were finning over the central wreckage!

With wave action having now reduced the Bows even further, it is the remainder of this fabulous wreck that attracts most interest. The main body is generally upright with her cargo of Italian floor tiles still in place. |

The "Giannis D" is found in three separate sections - Bows, Amidships and Stern lying more or less parallel to the Reef. Whilst each of these will provide the Diver with a most rewarding dive, most Divers tend to head straight for the stern where they will find a very dramatic and exciting structure. |

reviews for Giannis D: |
Absolutely fantastic dive - penetrated this wreck fully, all at a 45 degree angle. The wreck is in very good condition ... but be warned, the sea can be rough!

At the Bows, storms and rough seas have reduced the front of the ship to a scattered field of debris. The remainder of the wreck itself, however, provides a very exciting dive. It is as though the vessel has been cut straight across the middle of No 2 hold - with that debris field and the remains of the forward mast being all that exists in front of that cut. Immediately aft of No 2 Hold is the engine room with the bulkhead between the two also having disappeared. |
