The Chrisoula K/Marcus

Chrisoula K (Marcus) is one of the four wrecks of Abu Nuhas Reef, a site often referred to as the "Ship Graveyard." This 98-meter-long Greek freighter sank in 1981 after striking the reef while carrying a cargo of ceramic tiles. For years, it was believed to be Chrisoula K, but later research identified it as Marcus. However, among divers, both names are still commonly used.

The wreck rests at a depth of 5–27 meters, with a well-preserved structure that allows for fascinating exploration. Divers can swim through the engine room, cargo holds filled with ceramic tiles, and even visit the bridge. The hull is encrusted with soft corals and sponges, attracting lionfish, stonefish, moray eels, and octopuses. Above the wreck, schools of barracudas and tunas are often seen hunting.

With its accessible depth and excellent visibility, Chrisoula K / Marcus is an ideal wreck dive for both experienced divers and those new to shipwreck exploration.
