Abu Nuhas
Classic Red Sea wreck reef with multiple shallow shipwrecks.
Local operator required
Normally reached through a liveaboard or local boat operator with a wreck briefing.
Abu Nuhas is the Red Sea's shipwreck reef: shallow wrecks, liveaboard logistics, and classic northern-Red-Sea water clarity.
About Abu Nuhas
Abu Nuhas is a Red Sea wreck-diving reef with a cluster of accessible shipwrecks on and around a shallow plateau. The site is best understood as a liveaboard wreck stop: a shipping-lane reef with multiple shallow wrecks, strong marine growth, and a simple planning profile once the boat briefing is set. It is famous for wreck history rather than route complexity, so the main task is choosing the right wreck and staying within certification limits.
