Abu Nahas is a Greek ship that sank in 1976 to a depth of 30 meters. The load, a large amount of stone tiles, made for the nickname 'Tile Wreck”. In the early morning you can see the occasional white tip reef shark. Because of the very narrow entrances and exits entering the wreck is only for experienced divers. Actual penetration is not recommended because the wreck is quite unstable!
