Wrecks

The A-Z Of Red Sea Wrecks

(with special thanks to Richard Larne & Ali baba and the Red Sea Wreck Academy)

RICHARD LARN is one of Britain’s leading authorities on shipwrecks and has recently completed the magnificent work “Shipwreck index of the British Isles for Lloyds. Richard has been an invaluable source of information and I am eternally grateful for his help

ALIBABA. Being born profoundly deaf did not stop Ali baba becoming one of the most popular figures in Red Sea Diving and exploration. He has become a noted instructor and can lip read in several languages. DIVER honored him with a feature “prince of instructors” and rightly so. Sharing our passion for wrecks we have worked on many projects together for the last 10 years, dispelling all doubts as to the identity of several disputed wrecks (aided by Richard). Between us we have logged over 10,000 dives on Egyptian shipwrecks. Who better then to right an authorative guide. Usurpers beware!

THE RED SEA WRECK ACADEMY. Made up of wreck enthusiasts, archive historians, technical divers, and oceanographers, all who have a common interest, collectively a wealth of knowledge and experience , at the forefront of wreck exploration in the Red sea. www.RedSeawa.com

This is an ongoing project and when completed will contain the most comprehensive list of Red Sea shipwrecks ever published; it will set the records straight as to the identity of many miss named shipwrecks and detail many wrecks other ” armchair experts ” claim don’t exist.
