| VIPONE ITINERARY / HIGHLIGHTS The Thistlegorm |
 |
Discovered during one of Jacques-Yves Cousteau's first expeditions aboard the Calypso in the early months of 1956, the S.S.Thistlegorm was boomed by the Germans on October 6, 1941.
This British warship sank with a full consignment of war supplies, including tanks, jeeps, and guns. Rediscovered in 1993, lying at a depth of 17 to 35m to the northwest of Ras Mohamed, the Thistlegorm has become the vital hub of wreck diving in the Red Sea, and one of the most sought after wreck-dives in the entire world. |

| Carnatic, Giannis D., Chrisoula K. |
|
|
The Carnatic sank in 1879 and is now almost a reef in itself. It's a popular site, along with the nearby wrecks of two Greek cargo ships, the Giannis D. and the Chrisoula K. which both sank in the early 1980s. The three wrecks are about 1 hour 30 minutes by boat from the point of Ras Mohamed.
Please visit the following hyperlinks to see the wrecks of Giannis D. and Carnatic located in the North Red Sea. |
