The SS Thistlegorm is the best-known wreck in the Egyptian Red Sea and is the region's most popular and frequently-dived site.⁠
⁠
🧨The 125m long British army freighter sank just 18 months after her launch in April 1940, while carrying wartime supplies between the UK and Alexandria. She was hit by two bombs from a German long-range bomber and went down almost immediately with her cargo of aircraft, armored vehicles, Jeeps, and Bedford trucks.⁠
⁠
The wreck was rediscovered by Jacques Cousteau in 1956, sitting upright on the seabed at a maximum depth of 33m.⁠
⁠

Guess the wreck! 🤔⁠
⁠
Any idea which awesome chunk of metal these members are exploring? We'll give you a clue...⁠
⁠
🎇A massive explosion completely destroyed the front of this 10,000-ton special transport vessel and led to the ship sinking in just two minutes in Truk Lagoon. The stern sits upright and the anti-aircraft guns still point skywards, in the position they were fired from moments before the ship sank.

😮We never get tired of checking out the guns on the IJN Nagato. This 32,720-ton vessel lies upside down and makes for an amazing dive site. The ship’s bridge is easily accessible, and you can even swim through the spot where Admiral Yamamoto ordered his attack on Pearl Harbor. ⁠
⁠
We have some exciting news on the way about our Bikini Atoll schedule. Stay tuned for DEMA announcements next week!
