SMIT-LLOYD 10 - El Gouna

The Smit-Lloyd 10 is a solid wreck dive out of El Gouna, a tug vessel that went down in 1978 after an unfortunate encounter with an oil rig. Resting upright at 25 metres, its 59.7-metre length offers a good amount to explore. You can duck into the wheelhouse, check out the engine room, and the holds often have glassfish shimmering in the darker corners. We usually see lionfish patrolling the decks and the resident moray eels peeking from crevices. It’s a comfortable dive for those with a bit of wreck experience, without being overly challenging.
