3 Scuba Diving in Thistlegorm and Dunraven

Scuba diving in these two wrecks, the Thistlegorm and Dunraven, however, never seems to leave the present but transports one transcending the breathtaking Red Sea marine life to the past, which is a staple for every diving safari in the Red Sea. The wreck of the Thistlegorm ship, which was built during the Second World War, rests at about thirty meters deep in the sea and is laden with numerous treasures and items packed inside the ship such as motorcycles and tools of war now encrusted with different species of corals and fish. It is incredible to be inside the ship and then, later on, watch as the ship is completely covered in corals. The wreck of the Dunraven, an ancient steamship, lies about 20 meters underwater and affords stunning views of the exquisite construction adorned with corals and fish like snapper and barracuda. Apart from the thrill of diving with such shipwrecks, such shipwrecks offer an additional aspect of enjoyment, which is the diversity of sea life inhabiting the wrecks and the surrounding areas.

4 Scuba Diving in Giannis D and Carnatic

Undoubtedly, the experience of diving above the wrecks of Giannis D and Carnatic is for only the courageous divers who can manage to get themselves beneath the picturesque Red Sea. The wreck of the Giannis D, a cargo ship that sank in 1983, is over thirty meters underwater and is famous due to its structure and the marine life present. One can go inside through its holds and view different kinds of corals and fish including clownfish and large groupers. Also, deep inside the water, around twenty meters deep is another ship known as the Carnatic. This was a steamship that also sank and was last in service up until the late nineteenth century thus is a famous dive site for both novice and experienced divers alike. The wreck can be found within a variety of marine life that looks even more beautiful to the divers, with fish and corals making the place vivid. Both sites are the focal points of a Red Sea diving safari and depict the abundant marine life found in the Red Sea making scuba diving tours in the Red Sea very pleasurable with every dive.
