The Abu Nuhas wreck site, located approximately 70 km north of Hurghada, is renowned for its collection of shipwrecks lying in shallow to moderate depths. Often referred to as "Shipwreck Alley," it features five well-preserved wrecks, including the Carnatic, Khedive, Um El Faroud, Giannis D, and Chrisoula K. These wrecks attract divers with their fascinating history, abundant marine life, and excellent opportunities for underwater photography.
Yes, parts of the Abu Nuhas wreck site are suitable for Open Water divers. Wrecks like the Giannis D and Khedive lie in shallow depths, making them accessible to less experienced divers under supervision. However, deeper sections and penetration dives require advanced certifications such as Advanced Open Water or Wreck Diver.
On a full-day trip, divers typically visit 2-3 wrecks. Some companies offer trips to dive all five wrecks over 2-4 days. Each wreck offers a unique diving experience, from coral-encrusted hulls to swim-throughs and schools of jack and barracuda.
The wrecks at Abu Nuhas have become artificial reefs teeming with marine biodiversity. Divers commonly spot reef fish, snappers, groupers, moray eels, lionfish, turtles, and sometimes reef sharks. The coral growth on the wrecks attracts a wide range of species, making it a vibrant underwater ecosystem.
