Carina Wreck Liveaboard Dive Site

Carina Wreck is a wreck dive in Straits of Gubal, Egypt, within an area known for northern reefs and historic wrecks. The precise entry point and route depend on current, weather and the cruise director’s assessment, so an itinerary reference should not be treated as a guarantee that every departure will dive the site.

The wreck’s depth, condition and permitted level of penetration must be confirmed during the briefing. Divers entering an overhead environment need suitable wreck training, a torch, disciplined gas planning and a clear agreement with the guide; viewing the exterior is normally the safer option for divers without that experience.

A liveaboard is the practical way to combine this site with several dives across Straits of Gubal. Carry a surface marker buoy, follow the boat’s current and pickup procedures and use nitrox only when qualified and after analysing the cylinder. Wildlife encounters and visibility vary naturally and cannot be guaranteed.

Other sites in this part of the itinerary include SS Thistlegorm and SS Dunraven. Compare Egypt liveaboards and review the Egypt liveaboard destination guide before choosing an itinerary.
