NAWRAS

We love a good wreck, and Nawras delivers a different kind of charm. This isn't a massive cargo ship, it's a launch vessel, sunk after an internal explosion on the Raad Al-Bakry VIII back in 1990. At just 13 metres, it’s a chilled-out dive, perfectly suited for those who want to take their time exploring the details. The wreck itself is small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in character. Corals have really taken hold, transforming the twisted metal into a colourful apartment block for smaller creatures. We always spot schools of fusiliers darting in and out of the structure. Look closely among the nooks and crannies and you'll find pipefish, gobies, and often a few lionfish just hanging out. It’s a photographer's dream for macro shots and feels surprisingly intimate. Visibility here is generally good, and with no strong currents to worry about, you can spend a solid hour just poking around, imagining the day it went down. Our advice? Go slow, let your eyes adjust, and you'll keep finding new things.
