The Thistlegorm is a British ship which was attacked by the Germans on 5 - 6 October 1940. By the light of the full moon the German pilots spotted the convoy and decided to attack the ship which appeared to be carrying the biggest cargo.
The Thistlegorm wreck lies in the stretch of sea between the Sha'af Ali Reef and the West Coast of Sinai, north of Ras Mohammed in the Strait of Gobal.
The safari leaves Dahab around 10:00pm arriving 1 hour later in Sharm Port to spend the night on the boat. At sunrise the boat departs for the wreck, which is identified by GPS and sonic depth finder.
The guide usually moors the boat by tying a cable to 1 of the huge structures on the main deck of the wreck. Doing 2 dives - 1 outside the wreck and 1 inside.
It is difficult to say how many dives are needed to explore the wreck completely, there are so many thrilling things to see that nobody ever wants to leave the wreck behind. After making the 2 dives, a buffet lunch is served, as the boat moves back to Ras Mohammed, to do a 3rd relaxed dive at Sharks Reef and Yolanda. The boat returns to Sharm and then it is back to Dahab by car
