Why wreck diving?
Diving a wreck is an experience like no other: a huge shadow rising out of the blue, passageways people once walked through, a piece of history preserved by time under water. The Red Sea is famous for its wrecks. In the course you learn to plan a wreck dive, map the wreck and navigate it safely.
Our wrecks
We dive the El Mina, an Egyptian minesweeper that sank off Hurghada, as well as other wrecks in the area. Calm, guided and at your own pace.
