Abu Nuhas, which is translated from Arabic "father of copper". Got its name probably because of residues of cargoes on wrecks which can be seen on the reef. As this reef used to be an important waterway (street Gubal), it is hardly surprising that here over the years a total of 4 ships (Ghiannis D. Carnatic, Chrisoula K, Kimon M.) have sunk."

“Giannis D” : This ship was carrying a cargo of wood when it struck the reef and sank in 1983. The Giannis D split in two when it sank and now lies in two halves. The wreck lies on its port side, with the stern on the sea bed at 20m and the top of the mast at a safety-stop-friendly 5m. Divers can penetrate the wreck in the stern section. You can swim through the bridge and it’s possible to enter the engine room and accommodation areas too. However, the angle of the wreck can be disorientating when you’re inside, so be careful. Giannis D’s stern section is particularly photogenic – its bridge and funnel looking like tiers on a wedding cake. Even if you’re not holding a camera, take a minute to admire this view of one of the Red Sea’s classic wrecks.

"Carnatic" - The Carnatic is the oldest of the wrecks. It was a cargo and passenger steamer that sank in 1869, en route from Suez to India. Its precious cargo – which included wine, copper and gold – was salvaged shortly after its sinking but gave the reef its name: Sha’ab Abu Nuhas translates as ‘Copper Reef’.

An old wreck, the Carnatic is covered with spectacular corals and supports a wide range of marine life. It lies on its side and the soft corals on the hull are particularly pretty. The hull of the wreck is almost indistinguishable from a natural , so dense is the growth of animal life. The wreck lies parallel to the reef on its port side. It’s in two parts – a bow and a stern section – with a debris field in the middle. The maximum depth is 28m at the rudder and prop, so it makes sense to start your dive here.

"Chrisoula K." The Chrisoula K was a Greek registered freighter and on its final journey its cargo consisted of Italian floor tiles heading for Jeddah. It sank August 31st 1981 after Captain Kanellis passed over control of his ship following two days of intensive navigation. Shortly after the engines were set at full speed and the Chrisoula K was driven right into the northeast corner of Sha'ab Abu Nuhâs Reef. The Chrisoula K now sits in a large open, sandy space. The bows used to rise out of the water, but wave action has now reduced them to a few meters below the surface. The main body of the wreck is generally upright with the cargo of tiles still in place. The stern leans well over to the starboard and is slowly separating altogether. Deep inside the stern, the engine room offers some serious penetration diving for the experienced wreck diver

"Kimon M ” was a general cargo vessel of 3,129 tones, with four cargo holds - two forward of and two aft of the central bridge structure. She was built Germany in 1952 and in December 1978, loaded with 4,500 tons of lentils she made her final voyage. On December 12th 1978, with engines at full speed the Kimon M drove hard onto the northeast corner of Sha'ab Abu Nuhâs Reef. A passing cargo ship, the Interasja, immediately responded to the distress call and picked up all the crew and delivered them safely to Suez two days later. The initial impact drove the Kimon M hard onto the top of the reef where she stayed for several days, allowing the recovery of some of her cargo. Wind and currents pushed the ship onto her starboard side until the remainder of the ship fell into deeper water, coming to rest at the base of the reef. Later a large hole was cut into the vessel in order to salvage the majority of the engine.

"SS Thistlegorm" A trip around Thistlegorm today is like traveling through time and many visitors experience high emotions during the dive. It is after all a bombsite with highly visible signs of great destruction and loss. It's also a giant underwater museum, a war grave, a unique piece of military history and an opportunity to step into the past during a period when the free world was under threat from one of the most tyrannous regimes of modern times. "Ulysses” The Ulysses is another "grandfather" wreck of the Red Sea. Today, well over 100 years later, the Ulysses is a stunning dive site. The here can be very strong and the surface is often large making boat mooring near impossible. The normal way to dive here will be a long boat ride from the south side of Bluff Point in your dive vessels tender or RIB. Once in the water, if the current isn't strong, head to the stern section which is the deepest and most intact part of the ship. With a maximum depth here of 28m you will see distinct similarities between the Ulysses and the Carnatic. Her deck planking has long since gone, opening up her rear section like a giant rib cage. Glassfish and sweepers have congregated here in their hundreds making for some lovely photographs. It is easy to swim into the stern section (take care as soft corals cover the wreck) and the missing decking means that exit points can be easily found. As you head amidships most of the ship is badly broken and you will see a number of large cable drums. The bow (as shallow as 6 metres) is very broken having been constantly battered in the shallow waters, however a multitude of Red Sea fish, such as anthias, bannerfish and hoards of butterflyfish drift lazily around the wreckage. The coral reef here is also impressive with layer upon layer of stone corals, acropora table coral and raspberry coral.

“Bluff Point”

Bluff point is a steep wall dive that follows the coastline. There are plenty of small passages and inlets in the rock that hide away life. The reef is full of glassfish, butterflyfish, crocodilefish and a flat-headed scorpionfish. The wreck itself isn't much to look at, but it serves as an attraction for sealife. Keep an eye out for turtles.

“Ras Mohammed (Nationalpark)” - Shark- und Yolanda-Reef

About 20 km south of Sharm El Sheikh, on a slim peninsula towards the most southern tip of Sinai, lies Ras Mohammed, the first and best kept national park in Egypt. If Ras Mohamed is the most spectacular diving area near Sharm El Sheikh, then Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef are the prized scuba spots of Ras Mohammed. These reefs offer an opportunity to spy every single species of fish of the Red Sea, right here in the Sinai Peninsula.

Tiran Island The site was named after the Tiran Island, and it is between the Tiran Island and the Sinai Peninsula where the Straits of Tiran dive site is located. The dive site combines four reefs - Gordon, Thomas, Woodhouse and Jackson, which were named after British cartographers who first mapped the area. These four reefs that lined up in a row became world famous for their extraordinary diversity of corals. Strong currents that bring nutrients to the reefs, and an abundance of reef fish invite numerous pelagic species to this area. Big schools of groupers, snappers, barracudas, tuna and sharks can be sighted in surrounding waters. Strong currents around all four locations of this site can make fun and effortless but only for experienced divers.
