Khanka Wreck Liveaboard Dive Site

Khanka Wreck is a wreck dive in Rocky and Zabargad Islands, Egypt, within an area known for remote island walls, reefs and 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 Rocky and Zabargad Islands. 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 Rocky Island and Zabargad Island. Compare Egypt liveaboards and review the Egypt liveaboard destination guide before choosing an itinerary.

The Khanka Wreck dive site in Egypt is visited by two dive liveaboards. The highest customer-rated liveaboard scores 9.3 out of 10. Prices across these liveaboards start from £72.00.
