Abu Galawa - Small Wreck Dive Site, Egypt

Translated as Small Father of Turquoise Blue Water, the Abu Galawa is a crescent shaped reef with a turquoise blue lagoon containing several wrecks. The main wreck is a picturesque opportunity for photographers and is densely inhabited with shoals of sweepers and glassfish. It is 16m in length and allows plenty of light in through the remaining deck beams. The stainless steel main mast mount still shines on the remaining deck support.
