Overview

For divers acquainted with the Red Sea, this legendary wreck requires no introduction. It is a mandatory inclusion on numerous dive wish lists, and regardless of one's affinity for wreck diving, the Thistlegorm is simply breathtaking. Sunk identically to the 'Rosalie Moller' – just 48 hours and a few miles apart – the Thistlegorm truly ranks among the globe's finest dive experiences.

The Thistlegorm was laden with cargo destined for the War Effort in North Egypt, and every dive offers a profound visit to an underwater museum, a moment frozen in time. Within the Thistlegorm's voluminous holds, divers can still observe an incredible assortment of items, including locomotives, various ammunition, Lee Enfield rifles, Bedford trucks, Triumph motorbikes, and even airplane wings.
