The Umbria
Located in: Africa >> Sudan >> Port Sudan
The Umbria is found almost exactly as she was on the day she settled onto the seabed - on her port side at Wingate Reef. At 38m, the Bows are the deepest part of the wreck and at the stern, the rudder rests on the sand at 30m. The shallowest part is next to the Bridge where the lifeboat davits just break the surface. Neither the ship nor her contents were ever salvaged.
One of my favourite wrecks. If you are an experienced diver, you can swim through a small opening on the deck to see the huge engine. Great! Date posted: 07-Sep-2007 17:24 by: Klaus Riedel who thought that:

First dived with a guide. Second only with Buddy. Found it very easy wreckdive and after the Blue Bell best of RedSea. Date posted: 08-Jan-2007 16:04 by: Willem who thought that:

Ranked it as:
Suitable wreck to dive all the way around the outside for any competant diver with good bouyancy skills. Penetration only by suitably qualified divers or in the company of a knowledgeable guide. Date posted: 04-Mar-2006 18:34 by: Hilary who thought that:
