Chrisoula K. (Marcus) Wreck Of The Tiles is one of Abu Nuhas's classic Red Sea wreck dives, an upright freighter with tile cargo still lining the holds. The bow stays shallow while the stern drops deeper, so the wreck gives a clear top-to-bottom route with open swim-throughs around the bridge and engine room. Calm seas make the boat approach easier, and the interior can silt up quickly if you rush the finning.
