About this dive site

This dive site offers a fascinating experience centered around the Cedar Pride, a former Lebanese freighter intentionally sunk in 1985 as a prime underwater attraction. Located in the Red Sea, the wreck remains largely intact and provides divers with ample opportunities to explore its interior and exterior. You can swim through the vessel's corridors and underneath it, discovering beautiful coral formations and diverse marine life. The area is known for attracting larger creatures like barracudas and sea turtles. Night dives are particularly rewarding, as they may reveal lobsters and bioluminescent fish. Visibility in this location is likely good due to the relatively clear waters of the Red Sea.
