   SS Thistlegorm, Red Sea, Egypt

The SS Thistlegorm was a British transport ship built in 1940 in Sunderland, England. On Oct. 6, 1941, the ship was attacked from the air and sunk on its way from Glasgow to Alexandria while carrying a cargo of war supplies: rifles, motor bikes, trucks, armored cars and train carriages. The massive explosion that sank her had blown much of her midship superstructure away and makes the wreck very accessible to divers. In the early 1990s, Sharm el-Sheikh began to develop as a diving resort, and the ship now has become one of the most popular wreck dive sites in the world.

Location: 3 hours from Sharm el Sheikh

Depth: Up to 30 meters

Visibility: Up to 30 meters
