Chrisoula K - Hurghada

The Chrisoula K. She’s not the most graceful name, but this wreck delivers a truly absorbing dive. We love that she’s shallow enough for extended bottom times, letting us really pick apart the details. Her cargo holds are the star – filled with Italian tiles, still stacked in their crates, ready for inspection. Light shafts pierce the open decks, illuminating resident lionfish often perched dramatically on ledges. We’ve found her bow offers a brilliant photo opportunity, especially early in the morning before the crowds descend, with the superstructure silhouetted against the blue. Keep an eye out for patrolling reef sharks, too, and we’ve even had playful bottlenose dolphins cruise by on the way to the site, a fantastic bonus. Current can pick up, so it's a good idea to chat with your dive guide about the best entry point for the day.
