Abu Ghusun (Wreck) is a shallow shore wreck with easy access.
Abu Ghusun (Wreck) is a shallow shore wreck on Marsa Alam’s southern coast, reached by an easy sandy walk-in. The wreck sits on a reef-sandy slope, so the dive blends ship structure with surrounding coral and classic Red Sea life. Calm mornings are the easiest way to enjoy the site, while rougher water can flatten visibility and make the shore approach less comfortable.
