Dunraven
Ranked as OK by independant reviews Ranked as OK by independant reviews
Located in: Africa >> Egypt >> Sharm El Sheikh  
The Dunraven is almost completely upside down. She lies with her port side resting along an adjacent reef - with a slight "list" towards that reef. At a depth of 17m, the upside down bows are the shallowest part of the dive, with the stern resting on the seabed at 30m. Entry is possible at the large hole near the stern, with a swim through, you can pass alongside or over the engines, and eventually exit at a very large hole in the bow.
17m / 56ft
32m / 105ft
Accidental sinking: 25-Apr-1876 Wreck penetration is possible. Technical or decompression diving. More info...

This was my first wreck dive after qualifying OW. Didn't go inside the wreck, but went around it and then over the reef at Beacon Rock which was gorgeous with a huge amount of fish and corals. Absolutely loved it and felt very in control. Can't wait for the next visit in May 2011 when I'll be able to go inside. If I can do it, then it's a lovely dive for anyone.

The Dunraven is certainly suitable for a penetration dive, easy entry at the stern, swim over or alongside t he engines ... and so much light you don't need a torch - unless you want to snoop about. I have done this where the next dive is Shark & Yolanda reef ... to do both of these in a day, certainly gives memorable dives. Never had much more than a few others on the wreck at the same time - might be an issue if there were multiple boats.

Our first wreck dive, great to swim inside the wreck and get a new experience from diving.

Easy dive. Penetration is certainly possible with little danger

An easy wreck dive, which you can enter without ever being confined. Good fish life and little current.

Penetration is possible. All do it, no problem at all. The reef by the wreck is also nice by the way.
