The Carnatic is a graceful iron-and-wood P&O steamer that sank on Abu Nuhas in 1869 while carrying wine and Royal Mail, making it the oldest of the reef's wrecks. Its open, skeletal hull lying on its port side from 18 to 27 metres is draped in soft corals and swarming with glassfish, allowing easy, atmospheric swim-throughs. A beautiful, historic intermediate wreck dive.
