S.S. Turkia worth it?

[Pyro_]

looking at possibly doing a north read sea liveaboard later this year. Did south and DE last December. One of the trips I saw was to go up and do north and S.S. Turkia as well just wondering if anyone has done that one and is it worth it vs the regular north Red Sea trips since it appears they are only running the trip up to the turkia once this year

I think it was worth it. It's not as interesting regarding cargo as the Thistlegorm, but it's a beautiful wreck, better preserved than the Thistlegorm probably because it's less being dived. The engine room with the steam engine was the most interesting part for me.

Never been there, thank you to post some pics if you can.
(quite far from the traditionnal liveaboard routes)

To my knowledge there's only one Red Sea dive company that dives the Turkia. Don't have pictures of my own, but here's a link that has some info: SS Turkia - Red Sea Wreck • Red Sea Liveaboards. Being this remote also means not many divers have seen it

A warning though: the water is some degrees colder tthis far North than Hurghada let alone even more south. Take at least a cap with you, I considered the water quite chilly end of November = 18 degrees celcius vs 22 outside Hurghada.

Ya I am currently only seeing seawolf offer the trip this year mid November. Good to know about the water temps
