About 25 km north of Hurghada, off the southwestern tip of Shadwan Island, lies the most famous wreck-diving reef in Egypt: a single submerged coral table holding four major shipwrecks within easy reach of a recreational diver. The Carnatic, Giannis D, Chrisoula K and Kimon M are all on Abu Nuhas, sitting at depths between 14 and 30 metres, their hulls and superstructures heavily encrusted with coral and patrolled by lionfish, batfish, glassfish and the occasional reef shark.
Most Hurghada dive operators run day or overnight boats here weekly; expect 60–90 minutes' boat time each way. Currents can be strong and the wrecks are penetration dives for those qualified, so book with a centre that briefs properly. The reef is also worth diving for its own sake — the eastern wall drops vertically and is densely populated with reef life.
