Trip Overview

Dive into history with a visit to the El Mina Wreck, an Egyptian minesweeper sunk during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Resting at a maximum depth of 32 meters, this 70-meter warship is now a poignant artificial reef teeming with life. Explore the anti-aircraft gun, the massive blast hole, and the bridge, which is often shrouded in a shimmering cloud of glassfish. This dive requires an Advanced Open Water certification due to the depth.
