About Chicken Wreck (M.V Glaros)
Chicken Wreck (M.V. Glaros) is a boat-only Red Sea wreck near Jeddah, resting on its side and wrapped in coral growth. It is shallow enough to feel approachable, which is why many guides treat it as a good first wreck dive rather than a hard penetration dive. The name comes from its frozen-chicken cargo, and remnants can still be found inside the wreck. Expect a calm, colorful wreck with pipefish, lionfish, moray eels, barracuda, and other Red Sea fish around the structure.
