    The Cedar Pride is a classic Red Sea wreck, pure and simple. We love its elegance, sitting perfectly on its port side, completely intact. You drop down onto the hull, often with clouds of silversides shimmering around you, and then you’re into the wreck itself. Our favourite part is the bow, where the anchor chain still drapes down into the sand at 27 metres. From there, you can explore the cargo holds, now open to the light, and swim through the superstructure towards the stern. The wreck has become a proper artificial reef, with soft corals growing on every available surface, and lionfish often hanging motionless in the shadows. Look for the resident moray eels peeking out from pipes and crevices. It’s a relatively easy penetration for experienced divers, but there’s plenty to see just staying on the outside. We’d suggest going in the morning before it gets too busy.
