About this site

The Chrisoula K, often called the Tile Wreck, is a German-built cargo ship that struck Abu Nuhas in 1981 with a cargo of Italian floor tiles still neatly stacked in its holds. The stern, engine room and propeller lie largely intact from around 4 to 27 metres, making it an accessible and rewarding wreck for divers of all wreck levels. Glassfish, lionfish and morays have colonised the structure.
