Hamada Wreck - Abu Ghusun
A 65-metre cargo freighter that ran aground on the Abu Ghusun reef in June 1993 carrying a cargo of plastic granules. She now lies on her port side in the shallows, broken into two main sections at depths between 5 and 18 m — the bow rests against the reef, the stern sits on sand.

About this site
A 65-metre cargo freighter that ran aground on the Abu Ghusun reef in June 1993 carrying a cargo of plastic granules. She now lies on her port side in the shallows, broken into two main sections at depths between 5 and 18 m — the bow rests against the reef, the stern sits on sand. The shallow profile, broken hull, and intact wheelhouse make her one of the most accessible and photogenic wrecks in Egypt, popular with Wreck Diver Specialty students and ideal for a first true wreck dive (no decompression, no tight penetration required).
Highlights
- Shallow wreck 5–18 m — no decompression, suitable for Open Water divers
- Broken hull lets light in throughout — easy non-overhead exploration
- Intact wheelhouse, propeller, and bridge for photography
- Plastic granule cargo still visible scattered around the wreck
- Ideal first wreck for Wreck Diver Specialty training
