Wreck Dive
Sha`b Abu Nuhas Reef, Red Sea, Egypt
View Original Description
Sha'ab Abu Nuhas Reef has some of the best Wreck Diving in the Red Sea. Sha'ab Abu Nuhas is a coral reef northwest of Shadwan Island in the northern Red Sea.
The reef is a navigation hazard because it projects into the shipping channel, as evidenced by at least 7 shipwrecks on it including the SS Carnatic, Kimon M, Chrisola K and Ghiannis D. Four of the Wrecks are quite shallow and good for recreational scuba diving - even possible for inexperienced divers.
Its name is Arabic for "reef of father of copper", after the cargo of one of the wrecks.
