We run weekly boat trips to the SS Thistlegorm. 1 day and 1 night (includingfull board, transfer and3 dives) €100
The SS Thistlegorm sits on the bottom of the Red Sea, three and half hours sail north of Sharm el Sheikh. It is often said to be the best wreck dive in the world and with a maximum depth of 30 metres, is perfect for Advanced Open Water divers. If you dive only one wreck ever, dive the SS Thistlegorm.
“This is the perfect wreck dive where much of the original cargo still remains. The bow is just 15m below the surface and the propeller at 27. Measuring over 400 feet long, SS Thistlegorm often requires several dives to complete an extensive coverage, inside and out.
Currents may occasionally be strong; however, mooring lines tied by the guide allow divers to make a comfortable descent to the shelter of the wreck. Once inside, divers can explore the ship's holds where time has seemingly stood still. Motorbikes, trucks, guns and wartime cargo, never to reach its destination, lay stacked where it was loaded back in 1941. It must be said, that even after several hundred dives on Thistlegorm, such is the allure it holds for divers, that there is always something new to see.”
- John Kean, author of the book SS Thistlegorm
