Classic Abu Nuhas tile wreck with open holds and penetration options.
Classic Abu Nuhas tile wreck with open holds and penetration options.
The site is normally reached on Abu Nuhas boat runs from El Gouna or Hurghada.
Chrisoula K is the tile wreck on Abu Nuhas, with a shallow bow, a deeper stern, and a largely upright hull that still holds cargo. It is a classic Red Sea wreck dive for divers who want a famous site, open holds, and a look into spaces like the captain's cabin and engine room when appropriately trained. The wreck sits on an exposed reef, so boat planning, a solid briefing, and good buoyancy matter more here than on an easy reef cruise.
