The Abu Nuhas Wrecks

Abu Nuhas, just north of Hurghada, is where you go for a proper wreck fix. We're talking four distinct ships, each with its own story and vibe. The Giannis D, with its stern half-submerged in the coral and its bow completely broken, is a great place to see how quickly a wreck becomes part of the reef system. Then there's the Carnatic, the ‘wine wreck’, sitting upright and remarkably intact, offering some fascinating penetration possibilities through her holds. You’ll find glassfish swarming in the darker recesses and lionfish often patrolling the decks. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with moderate depths and a bit of current, keen to explore maritime history that’s now thoroughly alive.
