Get Wrecked Red Sea May 2024

A fabulous dive-safari to the Red Sea with some great people, and aboard what must be one of the best liveaboards in the Red Sea, Ghazala Explorer. In 6 days we made 22 dives, including Salem Express (With a night-dive on Salem Express!), Thistlegorm, Rosalie Moller, Giannis D and lots more.
Video shot on a DJI Osmo Action 4.

Cheers Neil! Yep, Salem Express at night is quite something.

I have video of the SE the day it sank. I was there.

[@mikeward736]

That must have been an awful experience

[@tdplk2987]

@@mikeward736 I was in a helicopter hovering over it. Streams of fuel, luggage and other evidence of her humanity floated about. The ship lay on her side w attached lifeboats and the hull clearly visable. Sad.

@@tdplk2987 Just awful

11:34. Without a better camera angle, I would say truck tyres and a gearbox housing.

[@mikeward736]

Could be, but there are no holes in the flanges either end of them, so it doesn't seem like they mounted to anything

[@billsmith6884]

@@mikeward736 Yeah, the angle doesn't allow for a lot of information. The smaller end definitely has a flange, the growth would have long ago covered any holes. The small rise at the middle of the large end looks like a PTO. Having said that, if sat upright on the small end, it also looks like a ships toilet; with the rise being the fitting for the flush water pipe.

@billsmith6884 Thanks for that, my dive-buddy Neil is an ex-motor vehicle mechanic who has worked with some exotic machinery and he's the one who pointed out the lack of bolt- holes. Next time out I'll spend some more time with these and see if I can get some measurements and close-ups. FYI there are over sixty of them, which suggests they were needed in numbers, and there seem to be two variants, differing in the end construction.
