We had some leftover gas from the cave project and on the way back to Hurghada we stopped in the approximate location of the wreck,"El Quamar Il  Saudi il Masri. We used our depth sounder in the only area south of Siyal Island that has a depth of 80m.

About two weeks ago we came across a report that divers have been on a ferry that went down in 1994 close to Hurghada, "El Quammar Il Saudi Il Masri". After reading the report and some enquiries about the accident we decided to spend some time looking for the wreck on the way back from the Ras Mohamad 130m Cave dive project that we did last week. (a full report and video of the 130 m Dive Cave project can be found at www.redseaexplorers.com)

We had some leftover gas from the cave project and on the way back to Hurghada we stopped in the approximate location of the wreck,"El Quamar Il  Saudi il Masri. We used our depth sounder in the only area south of Siyal Island that has a depth of 80m. As something showed up on our sounder we noticed a buoy about two meters under the surface. We figured the previous team had installed it like that so as not to be spotted by other interested divers.
