Giannis D
History:
Originally named Shoyo Maru, the Giannis D was a 99-metre-long cargo ship built in Japan at the Kuryshima Dock Company of Imabari in 1969.
The Giannis D received her European name in 1980, after being sold to the Greece-based Dumarc Shipping and Trading Corporation of Piraeus, Athens. Her final voyage started at Rijeka, Yugoslavia, in 1983 when it loaded its cargo of softwood (teak wood according to some sources) and set sail to Jeddah via the Suez Canal. The ship was sailing through the Strait of Gubal, the last narrow passage before reaching the open waters of the Red Sea when the Captain left the helm to one of the officers and retired for some rest.
Soon after, he was abruptly awakened by the sound of metal crashing on rocks, as his ship ran aground. The ship had drifted away from its planned route, and hit the northwest edge of the reef at full speed. After several weeks on the reef, during a storm, the ship’s hull broke, and the Giannis D sank to the bottom.
The remains of the Giannis D lies parallel to the reef between 10 and 28 metres in depth divided into three separate sections. The highly-damaged bow is in the shallower part, the cargo area amidships is a debris field of steel and wood, and the stern section is in the deeper area, leaving that section well preserved. While having spent less time underwater compared to some other wrecks in the area, the Giannis D is extensively covered in beautiful soft corals and offers shelter to a vast population of reef inhabitants, including moray eels and clouds of glassfish.

2:55 That's a great view of the front you got! So cool to see that much life in one place with great visibility too.
It is a beautiful wreck dive. This was at the stern of the ship.
This wreck is wonderfull, we saw dolphins in the Safety stop.
That would have been amazing
Great Video! Beautiful colors 😍
The colours were awesome. Thank you 😊
Amazing!
It was incredible
I was there in February and it was incredible indeed
It is an awesome dive! I bet you had an amazing time diving the Red Sea!
That view when you descend and see that massive wreck is definitely breathtaking. Awesome dive spot!
You would love it 😀
@@BlueHorizonDiving I did that in 2019 and it was awesome. My favorite is still Thistlegorm though. I think you guys are gonna do it soon. I’ll stay tuned. 💪
Holy Mola that wreck was fantastic! You guys are SO lucky to be able to be there and see that!! We are lucky that you bring a camera with you too! 😁🤙
Thank you Lydia! Yeah we really are. We had a few weeks off from running Kids Sea Camp spring break and summer weeks, so we decided to book onto this trip. I love the Red Sea and wanted to go with Holly so she could experience this amazing dive location.
The colours were amazing - gorgeous !! 😍
Colours were awesome 👌
new subscriber and love the videos keep them coming
Welcome and thank you 😊
Nice video.good luck
Thank you 😊
very nice dive guys...you need some video ligths asap though
Yeah we have 2 video lights but didn’t have them on this dive, as you can tell 😂
Great video. Red Sea remains on the bucket list. Were you using a red filter?
Red Sea is amazing. No red filters on GoPro.
ime in hurragada in august can you dive any off the wrecs as a amiture as i have only ever scuber dived twice in turky as a day trip
Hey, you would need to have your Open Water certification as a miminmum for these wrecks. I don't think the day boats from Hurghada go that far North to these wrecks.
@@BlueHorizonDiving kind of expected that may have to do it next visit then as really enjoyed Turkey dive and get certification later this year thnx for the reply
No worries at all. If you loved diving in Turkey then Egypt will be very special. You can get certified in Hurghada when there and worth it or do the DSD/ resort dives there so can experience Red Sea.
Have an awesome time
@@BlueHorizonDiving thank you I will look in too that
Loved our trip with you last week! ruclips.net/video/43w1DpNXrGc/видео.htmlsi=qtDllksmGvbmlSeP
Glad you had an amazing time on the wreck but it wasn’t with us sadly
Ah, it was on Superior, I sailed her last year, and of a boat of your name last week 😀@@BlueHorizonDiving
