Leuke duik naar het wrak en het wrak ernaast. Met de gids in het wrak geweest. Was smal maar goed te doen. Zicht in wrak was goed.

Kapotgeschoten stalen wrak. Niet bijzonder. Ligt op ca 25-30 meter. Eén vd weinige wrakken bij Hurghada. Niet de moeite vond ik.

Next to the El Minya you will find a fishing boat which is also fun to see, with a rope down, and a toppie!

Next to the El Minya is another wreck, a fishing boat, both of which are beautiful to have seen once, this was my first wreck.
EL MINYA
Egypte
The El Minya is an Egyptian minesweeper which sank in 1969 in a bombing raid by Israeli warplanes. The wreck lies close to the public port of Hurghada at 30 meters deep. Strong currents and poor visibility makes it a little bit of a spooky dive. The El Minya is just 70 meters long, giving you enough time to look at it from all sides. The huge hole offers a perfect view into the interior. It is full of fish and you will see schools of barracudas above the ship. Next to El Minya lies the wreck of an old fishing boat. Both are worth to visit.
