Frequently Asked Questions About Iceberg

The most favorable diving conditions are usually found between September and November. It is the second high season in the Red Sea, with stable conditions, warm air temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C, and water temperatures ranging from mid to high 20s, depending on the location. These conditions are similar to the March to May season and attract a huge number of divers since the conditions are favorable for visibility and abundant marine life

The SS Thistlegorm is often referred to as the Red Sea's most iconic dive wreck and one of the world's most recognized wreck dives. This World War II British supply vessel ran aground in 1941 when German planes bombed it as it was anchored near the entrance to the Suez Canal. The wreckage is accessible to divers and holds intact military cargo like trucks, motorcycles, and ammunition. Initially rediscovered in 1956 by Jacques Cousteau, it was not rediscovered until the 1990s and has since then been a must-visit for wreck divers

Abu Nuhas Reef holds a number of wrecks, each with its own history and typical dive profile.

The Giannis D struck the reef in 1983 carrying timber. The wreck lies in depths of between 6 and 27 meters, with the intact stern steeply angled on the bottom, with excellent swim-throughs between the crew quarters and engine room.

The Chrisoula K, or the "Tile Wreck," went down in 1981 and still has piles of Italian tiles that can be easily seen. The wreck is 12 to 27 meters deep and has good swim-throughs. Coral life and reef fish, such as parrotfish and angelfish, are present.

The Carnatic, a much older ship that sank in 1869, carried coinage cargo for the Indian Mint. Although only the hull remains, it is clothed in soft coral and often thick with glassy sweepers. Port wine bottles can still be found inside, and dolphins are not uncommon in the area

The holiday starts and ends in Hurghada. Arrivals at Hurghada International Airport (HRG) are met by a representative in the arrival hall. Airport transfers are arranged around flight schedules to allow adequate time for immigration and baggage reclaim. For those who are already staying in a hotel, pickup is organized on the afternoon of the day before travel. Boarding on board starts at 4:30 PM on the same day. The boat departs from Hurghada at 8:30 AM on the following day.

Toward the end of the trip, the final dives are scheduled on the morning of the final day. The boat returns to Hurghada in the afternoon. Disembarkation on arrival. Divers should ensure that they will observe the advised 24-hour no-fly time after their final dive
