Boleina

The Boleina wreck is one of Hurghada’s lesser-known but fascinating dive sites. This sunken vessel lies at a shallow depth, offering divers an exciting mix of wreck exploration and marine life encounters. Over the years, the wreck has become an artificial reef, attracting a variety of marine species and covering itself with soft corals and sponges.

The structure of the wreck is still recognizable, making it an interesting site for both wreck enthusiasts and photographers. Schools of glassfish, lionfish, and groupers have made it their home, while moray eels and scorpionfish can often be spotted hiding among the wreckage. The surrounding sandy seabed is also a great place to look for rays and other bottom-dwelling creatures. What makes Boleina special is the amount of nudibranches here. You'll find at least 10 on a bad day, while on some dives we counted more than fifty! Different shapes, colours and sizes - this place is a must-visit for any macro photographer!

Thanks to its accessible, the Boleina wreck is a great choice for divers of all levels looking to explore a hidden part of Hurghada’s underwater history.
