SS Thistlegorm was a British armed Merchant Navy ship constructed in 1940 and is considered to be one of the most impressive diving spots in the world. She was sunk in 1941 by Germans in the Red Sea. Despite the explosion of the ammunition storage during the bombing of the ship, most of the carried cargo remained untouched.
The ship became a widely popular attracion in the 1990's when the recreational diving emerged in Egypt. The depth of 30 metres at its deepest makes it accesible even for people without specialist training and equipment. The biggest attraction is the cargo. Inside the ship we can find nearly everything: trucks, motorcycles, rifles, armoured vechicles and plane parts, all in pretty good condition (despite the ship lying at the bottom of the sea for 70 years).
Common interesting animals that we can see around the wreck are: tuna, barracuda, stone fish, lionfish, sea turtle.
I encourage You to visit this and this site with photos from the wreck, because words cannot describe it as good as pictures can.
