Best of Chrisoula K Wreck - Scuba Diving Abu Nuhas Reef - Egypt [HD]

The Chrisoula K is a fantastic wreck dive with an easy hull penetration. The excellent visibility of Red sea waters make it an unforgettable experience. This great dive site features 4 different shipwrecks which makes the Abu Nuhas reef one of the top wreck diving spots of the northern Red sea.

In late August 1981, the Chrisoula K got underway from Italy with a cargo of floor tiles destined for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The ship, under the command of Captain Kanellis, made safe passage across the Mediterranean Sea, transit through the Suez Canal, and navigated through the narrow confines of the Straits of Suez. One source states that Captain Kanellis was on the bridge for the entire passage from Italy up to this point and then turned the helm over to another officer in order to retire for some well-earned rest. True or not, the ship continued on its passage south, steaming at full speed, when it struck the northeast corner of Sha’ab Abu Nuhas. Thankfully, there was no loss of life.
