The Underwater Museum

Wreck diving Hurghada takes on a unique form at the Hurghada Underwater Museum, an extraordinary dive site showcasing submerged military vehicles such as tanks and armored personnel carriers. Created as an artificial reef, the site was designed to encourage marine growth while helping reduce diving pressure on natural coral reefs. Over time, the structures have become home to various fish species, offering a visually striking and environmentally conscious diving experience.

The vehicles rest at a depth accessible to divers of different levels and have already become encrusted with corals, providing shelter for a variety of marine creatures. Divers can encounter crocodilefish, scorpionfish, lionfish, and moray eels. Schools of glassfish and snappers swirl around the tanks and armored vehicles, creating an impressive underwater scene.

This site offers a fascinating blend of history and marine life while serving as an alternative dive location that contributes to coral reef conservation.
