This is one of the largest wrecks in the Egyptian Red Sea - roughly the same size as the Thistlegorm. She lies perfectly on her starboard side at an almost uniform depth of 32m from Bows to stern.
This is a lovely wreck, from 30m to 16m with plenty to see, but can get crowded,perhaps most thought provoking are all the personal items and un launched lifeboats which should remind people that this is the last resting place for many egyptians but unfortunately I still saw divers entering the wreck with a total lack of sensitivity to the situation Date posted: 05-Nov-2007 20:19 by: sg who thought that:

The first time I visited this wreck it was difficult to penetrate, few of the doors or windows were open. Now it is a different story, almost all enterable holes have been opened or broken into allowing almost anyone to enter the wreck.
The restaurant and bridge are easily accessible to all, further penetration can be done by those with equipped for the job and with good wreck skills. As with all diving do not dive beyond you skill level with out adequate training or support.

This is an awesome dive due To The history and number of fatalities. For photo's and video this is one of the best wrecks I have dived on as it is still intact. Date posted: 26-Oct-2006 16:39 by: paul who thought that:

This is a very eery dive because of the way it sank and the number of people lost. It is in good condition and intact. Well worth the day boat trip even if you are not a wreckie!
