The world famous Thistlegorm was a World War II ship, bombed by the Germans while delivering a cargo of ammunition and war materials. With its cargo machinery and equipment all neatly stowed in its open holds, this wreck would be a highlight of a diving tour anywhere in the world. Ras Mohamed National Park is renowned for its breath-taking walls rich in gorgonian fans and soft corals that are frequented by large schools of snapper, tuna and trevallies. Turtles, crocodilefish, blue-spotted sting rays, scorpionfish and lionfish are always around in this scuba diving paradise. You will also dive the famous reefs of the Strait of Tiran: Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas and Gordon. These magnificent formations, rising from the depths, are often frequented by large pelagics, including hammerheads, due to the abundance of currents.
