About Aiona Wreck (حطام أيونا)
Aiona Wreck is a classic Yanbu wreck dive with a shallow open section and a deeper corridor-filled section for more advanced divers. The wreck is known for heavy marine life and clear Red Sea water, making it feel like both a training wreck and a real progression dive depending on which part you choose. Boat access and local dive-center support are the normal way in, and the deeper section should be treated as an overhead profile rather than a simple reef swim.
