The Rosalie Moller was a German coal freighter that was sunk by a German Heinkel He-111 bomber in the early hours of October 6, 1941, two days after the sinking of the SS Thistlegorm. It was just off the coast of Egypt in the Red Sea, near the Straits of Gubal.
The ship sits upright on the seabed at a maximum depth of 45-50 meters (147-164 feet). The decks are at 39 meters (128 feet), and the top of the masts reach up to 17 meters (56 feet) from the surface. Because of its depth, this is considered a technical dive.
The Rosalie Moller is a popular dive site due to its relatively intact state. Much of the ship is still in place, including the boilers, cranes, winches, and even some of the cargo. The wreck is also home to a wide variety of marine life, including schools of fish, coral reefs, sharks, and rays.
Location: West of Small Gubal Island, Red Sea
Depth: 17 meters (56 feet) to 50 meters (164 feet)
Length: 108 meters (354 feet)
Current: Gentle
Visibility: Can be low due to silt in the water
If you are an experienced technical diver looking for a wreck dive with plenty of marine life, the Rosalie Moller is a great option. However, due to the depth, it is not recommended for beginner or intermediate divers.
