About this site

An approximately 70 m Egyptian minesweeper bombed and sunk by an Israeli fighter in 1969, lying on its port side in Hurghada harbour. The top of the wreck sits around 26 m with the seabed at 30 m; anti-aircraft guns, minesweeping gear and a bow blast-hole are visible, and a resident giant moray lives on the wreck.
