Description

Kingston Wreck is a beginner-friendly wreck dive in the Strait of Gubal, Egypt's Red Sea. This British cargo ship sank in the early 20th century and now rests at a shallow, accessible depth. The exposed sections are beautifully colonized by fire corals, soft corals, and sponges. Schools of anthias and sweepers cloud the remaining structure, while moray eels peer from the corroded hull plates. Kingston's shallow position and easy access make it an excellent introduction to the legendary wreck diving of the Gubal strait.
