Best diving spots in Egypt: SS Thistlegorm

Have you ever dived a shipwreck?

If yes you know how adventerous it is. And if you have dived the "SS Thistlegorm" you will know that it is the most amazing shipwreck in the world and probably your most amazing ship wreck dive you ever had!!

SS Thistlegorm

The SS Thistlegorm was a British armed Merchant Navy ship built in 1940 by Joseph Thompson & Son in Sunderland, England. She was sunk on 6 October 1941 near Ras Muhammad in the Red Sea and is now a well known diving site.

In Egypt the boats bringing you out to this dive site are always really luxurious. Usually you set sail early in the morning and then you stop int he middle of nowhere not knowing what awaits you beneth. I can clearly recommend to make a Nitroxdive on this site and be sure to have a good guide that also lets you into the shipwreck :)

As you can see its a sureal feeling you get. Light and darkness play with each other. If you look close you will see lots of remaining parts of trucks, motorcycles and and and...

Check out what i found on the way into the wreck: This indeed still are real bullets!!

My Favorite shot i made during this dive is this one:

This is actually a part of the ceiling of the wreck. As lots of divers have entered this place there is lots of air locked in that ceiling and in combination with the sunlight it reflects perfectly what you see on the bottom of the wreck. What an amazing shot!
