A new wreck near the Yolanda reef

[Red Sea Shadow]

A daily boat sank near the Yolanda reef. Now it's near the famous Ideal Standard toilets but it's still moving. I'll dive Ras Mohamed on Friday Feb. 17 so hopefully it's still there.

There is also a new wreck in Hurghada - Hebat Allah. It's not deeper than 50 meters and prepared for wreck training (with guide lines and so on). According to my friends is excellent for the penetration.

If you find this new one in Yolanda - I'm waiting for the detailed report

Unfortunately I didn't find it. I heard that it is a liveabiard not a daily boat and that it was towed to the shipyard.

Mania do you have more info about Hebat Allah? Location, length, breadth, etc...

 

[Red Sea Shadow]

OK I got more info about Hebat Allah. It is accessible by daily boats. Deepest part is 46 m and shallowest one is 28 m. It is a decompresion dive and the minimum required experience is AOW with 100 dives. Penetration is not recommended for those who do not hold neither cave nor wreck specialties.

Here is a nice list of wrecks in Egypt: http://www.touregypt.net/vdc/shipwrec.htm

Probably the mentioned above wrecks are not listed there, but it is a great site with background about the ships, how they wrecked, stories of finding etc.

I've prepared a google-earth file with a list of wrecks in Israel & Egypt, I'll try to post it later.

Thanks for the link Jai Bar. Next weekend I'll be diving three of them; Kingston, Thistlegorm, and Dunraven.
