Red Sea Ship Wrecks/ Technical diving in Sharm-el-Sheikh

The peculiarity of wreck diving is that a diver should know the object well, whether it is a shipwreck, a plane crash or ruins of an ancient vessel with gold-loaded holds. Naturally, technical divers should be aware of gas laws and human physiology - it's absolutely essential to have such kind of knowledge.

The Red Sea is famous for its ship wrecks. Some are reachable within a couple of hours by boat, others can be explored only during liveaboard diving safaris.

Here are some of the most famous ship wrecks which can be reached by boat from Sharm-el-Sheikh.

NEW RED SEA WRECK DISCOVERY

Two Red Sea Divers discovered in 2007 a new wreck. Aaron Bruce and Paul Vinten had been collating information and making systematic searches for a number of years to find the wreck of the AI Qamar AI Saudi AI Misri which sank in 1994. Their hard work finally paid off when they discovered the huge ferry in deep water near Shadwan Island.
