The Boleina Wreck is one of the more underrated diving spots Hurghada has to offer, appealing to divers who enjoy quieter, less-crowded sites. This sunken vessel rests at a relatively shallow depth, making it accessible while still providing an engaging mix of wreck exploration and marine life encounters. Its calm conditions and interesting structure make it a rewarding dive for various experience levels.
The structure of the wreck is still recognizable, making it an interesting site for both wreck enthusiasts and photographers. Schools of glassfish, lionfish, and groupers have made it their home, while moray eels and scorpionfish can often be spotted hiding among the wreckage. The surrounding sandy seabed is also a great place to look for rays and other bottom-dwelling creatures. What makes Boleina special is the amount of nudibranches here. You'll find at least 10 on a bad day, while on some dives we counted more than fifty! Different shapes, colours and sizes - this place is a must-visit for any macro photographer!
Thanks to its accessible, the Boleina wreck is a great choice for divers of all levels looking to explore a hidden part of Hurghada’s underwater history.
