the ill-fated British ship the "Dunraven" sank in 1867. The wreck is easy to

Prepare
yourself for the best wreck dive ever - on the S/S "Thistlegorm". This British
supply ship was carrying supplies and ammunition to an English battalion in Egypt when it
was sunk by a German aircraft during World War II. Discovered in 1993 and since then
became a diver's delight, the ship is full of trucks, motorcycles, train engines, tanks
and other war supplies. Huge schools of game fish and beautiful soft coral are everywhere.
We will spend the entire day here, with at least 4 dives. (B, L, D) |
