About this site
Catalog

The Rosalie Moller is a 108 m British coal steamer bombed and sunk by German aircraft in October 1941, now resting upright on a sandy seabed near Gubal/Shadwan north of Hurghada. The deck lies around 35 m, the masts rise to about 18 m and the hull bottoms out near 50-55 m, all heavily encrusted in hard and soft corals and swarming with glassfish and big schools. Its depth, frequent strong currents and remote location make it a serious technical and advanced wreck dive.
