Diver's Notes

Perfect wreck lying on its starboard side. Dropped onto hull and then saw propeller and worked our way round. Felt really eerie but a fantastic dive. Saw handrails, lifeboats strewn aside and lots of growth and life and came back on top and peered in windows. Lots of portholes and one complete with glass. Felt cold at end.
When we arrived at site, we were only boat but then 2 approached and we got in quick!
Ferry sunk in 1991 coming back from religious pilgrimage from Saudi to Safaga. Capt made a naughty shortcut with catastrophic ending
