he Northern Wrecks of the Red Sea have been shrouded in mystery for many years and divers have been begging to go there forever. Deep Voyage has finally decided to take the plunge and go for it full force!
This trip is awesome for veteran Red Sea travellers who have been to Egypt many times before because we will certainly be by ourselves most of the time.
The only reservation we note about this itinerary is that it cannot be done with a forecast of winds higher than 10 knots. In that case, the waves will be just too high. We have been out there with winds of up to 40 knots and although Liberty will survive without a scratch, the seas are just too high to dive and anchor. This is due to the nature of the wreck locations which are places with zero enclosure.
In a case where we are forced to scrub, we linger at the northern wrecks of Rosalie, Thistlegorm and Kingston in wait of the calmer sea for as long as we can. As soon as the winds die down, we steam up North for 8 hours to the wreck of the SS Turkia
NOTE: It is physically impossible to visit ALL the wrecks on this list. The main wrecks are the ones further north, while the traditional sites are a list of back-up sites.
