Ocean Line

The Ocean Line, well, it’s a tugboat down deep in Dahab, and our pick for something a bit different if you’re tech-qualified. Dropping down, the first thing you notice is the sheer scale of the thing against the blue. This isn't your average wreck in a shallow bay; it’s a proper expedition. We love how the tug sits almost upright, its structure still so defined even after all these years. You can trace the deck, peer into the wheelhouse, and even ghost through the engine room, lights off for a real sense of its history. It’s dark down there, obviously, but your torch beam picks out details, like the encrusting sponges and the whip corals that have started to colonise the metal. Groupers often lurk in the shadowed corners, and we’ve seen schools of snapper zipping around the superstructure. It’s a quiet, contemplative dive, perfect for those who appreciate the silence and the stories a wreck holds. Remember your deco gas; it’s a long way back to the surface.
