The main feature of this dive is a World War II wreck of a Chinese tug boat, the “Tien Hsing” (Tienstin), that sunk in 1943. Measuring approximately 34 metres in length, the stern of the wreck lies at a depth of 17 metres and the tip of the bow peaks above the waves at low tide.
The Tien Hsing counts among the most lushly covered shipwrecks in the Red Sea; the vegetation is so dense on the wreck’s port side that it is difficult to distinguish it from the reef!
Apart from the wreck, Abu Galawa Kebir is a great diving spot with some lagoons and large, beautiful neighbouring reefs, where you have plenty of opportunity to dive along walls, pinnacles and passageways.
