Dive the Legendary Thistlegorm Wreck

For history enthusiasts and advanced divers, a visit to the Thistlegorm shipwreck is a must. This British cargo ship, sunk during World War II in 1941, now serves as a remarkable underwater museum, offering a glimpse into the past with its well-preserved wartime artifacts and cargo of military vehicles, motorcycles, trucks, ammunition, guns, cars, tanks, spare parts for equipment, rubber boats, tires, and more that sank with it. The ship with a length of 126m lies at 30 meters depth and can be explored on longer day trips from Sharm El Sheikh. On the first dive you take a look at the ‘Old Lady’ from outside, and on the second dive you explore the ship from inside.

It is such a special place to dive that a dedicated post about diving the SS Thistlegorm wreck will follow soon. Trust us, once is not enough and it’s absolutely worth the long boat ride! This is exactly the dive you do and when you finish you are sure you will return to the ‘Old Lady’.
