Northern Red Sea
The Sinai Peninsular itself is a mountainous region which often seems mirrored
underwater with monumental drop offs’, dramatic vertical walls and canyons. The water
around the Sinai is on a major shipping route and is a gateway from Europe to Africa.
Over the years the combination of hundreds of reefs and boats has resulted in shipping
accidents creating numerous wrecks. The Northern Red Sea boasts some of the most
impressive wrecks world wide including the Rosalie Moller and the SS Thistlegorm. In
addition to the wrecks the northern Red Sea is home to some spectacular reef dives.
