The El Mina Wreck is a sunken Egyptian minesweeper located near Hurghada, offering an exciting dive for wreck enthusiasts. This vessel was reportedly sunk during an air raid and now rests on the seabed at a depth of around 30 meters.

The wreck lies on its port side and is covered with marine life, including schools of glassfish, lionfish, scorpionfish, and moray eels. The hull is still well-preserved, with visible gun mounts and other military features, making it a fascinating site to explore.
