Site Description The Hebat Allah shipwreck

The Hebat Allah shipwreck in Egypt is a popular destination for technical divers due to its depth and interesting features. Here’s what I can tell you about it: Originally a small cargo ship built in France in 1985 for the Egyptian government. In 2004, it was intentionally sunk as Egypt’s first artificial reef to alleviate pressure on other dive sites and promote marine life growth. Sinking wasn’t perfect – the intended depth of 30 meters was missed, and it now rests at 46 meters. Officially opened as a dive site in December 2005. Dive Information: Depth, 46 meters (151 feet) – This depth makes it suitable for technical divers with proper training and equipment. Lies upright on sandy and stony ground between Giftun Island and Gota Abu Ramada in the El Arouk Giftun area. Superstructure with 3 levels reaching a depth of 25 meters. Forward mast reaching up to 15 meters. Empty and open cargo hold accessible between the superstructure and forward mast. Pilothouse and some other compartments are also accessible for penetration dives (divers entering enclosed spaces). Be aware that some guidelines used for penetration dives might be outdated or even hazardous. Check with a dive operator familiar with the site for current recommendations. Hebat Allah is a great dive for technical divers who want to refresh their skills, test new equipment, or gain experience at deeper depths. Due to the depth, proper training and technical diving qualifications are essential for safe exploration.
