SS Thistlegorm is easily the most-famous diving wreck of The Red Sea. Thistlegorm was a British transport ship used in World War II and on its way to the Suez Canal when it was sunk by a German airstrike in the middle of the night October 5th-6th 1941.

After German Intelligence (Abwher) heard of Allied troopships in the area, they sent a pair of Heinkel HE 111 aircraft to locate and destroy.

However, the largest vessel that they found was SS Thistlegorm, which they bombed, hitting Hold near the rear of the ship.

Thistlegorm sank in less than 10 minutes, but luckily due to the warm weather that night most of the crew were sleeping on deck and survived. All but nine men were rescued by HMS Carlisle, which was moored nearby. 

Tour representative will pick you up by an air conditioned vehicle from your hotel Sharm El Sheikh at approximately 5.30am (exact details will be confirmed locally) to take you to the dock to get on the boat to the wreck of SS Thistlegorm.

On our trip includes two dives with professional guides, as well as lunch and drinks on the boat.

P.S.

In case the diver does not dive for more than 6 months, so there will be a need for check-dive (Refreshment). This would be with extra cost 35$ P.P. The diver needs to have his open water certificate plus his logbook.

We can offer trips to other dive wreck sites like Shark Reef -Yolanda Reef & Dunraven Wreck Dive Site Ras Mohammed, Sharm El Sheikh. That must be on special requests.
