Scuba Diving in Carnatic Wreck

The Carnatic wreck located in northern Egypt in the shallows of Sha’ab Abu Nuhas, the mouth of the Gulf of Suez. It ran aground due to unexplained circumstances on 12 September 1869, allowing for over 200 years of coral growth to almost completely cover its remains. Today, it lies between 12 and 25 metres along the reef’s bank, giving shelter to a variety of benthic species, including large moray eels, elusive scorpionfish, stonefish, parrotfish and napoleon wrasses.
