The Underwater Museum

Hurghada Underwater Museum is a unique dive site featuring sunken military vehicles, including tanks and armored personnel carriers. This artificial reef was established to attract marine life and reduce the diving pressure on natural coral reefs.

The vehicles rest at a depth accessible to divers of different levels and have already become encrusted with corals, providing shelter for a variety of marine creatures. Divers can encounter crocodilefish, scorpionfish, lionfish, and moray eels. Schools of glassfish and snappers swirl around the tanks and armored vehicles, creating an impressive underwater scene.

This site offers a fascinating blend of history and marine life while serving as an alternative dive location that contributes to coral reef conservation.
