Giannis D

Greek cargo ship that slammed into the northwest corner of Sha'ab Abu Nuhas reef at full speed on April 19, 1983, en route from Croatia to Jeddah with a hold full of softwood timber. The 99.5-meter hull split into three sections and now lies on her port side, with the mast reaching to 4 m below the surface and the propeller at 27 m. The 45-degree tilt of the intact stern superstructure — engine room, pilothouse, crew quarters — is the most photographed angle of any Red Sea wreck after the Thistlegorm. Shafts of light cut through the slanted portholes onto schools of glassfish packing the lower decks, and scorpionfish, crocodilefish and the occasional Napoleon wrasse work the broken midsection.
