About this route

The classic northern Red Sea legend route that combines the Strait of Gubal's iconic wrecks with the drift-diving paradise of Ras Mohammed and the Tiran Strait. Dive the SS Thistlegorm at dawn, explore the four Abu Nuhas wrecks, then drift the dramatic walls of Jackson, Woodhouse and Thomas Reefs in search of schooling hammerheads. A balanced week of wartime history, big pelagics and world-class hard coral gardens.
