SS Levanzo

The Levanzo Wreck is a sunken Italian cargo ship resting near Elba Reef, one of the most remote diving destinations in Egypt, close to the Sudanese border. This wreck, little-known even among experienced wreck divers, offers a rare glimpse into maritime history in a location untouched by mass tourism.
The Levanzo lies at a moderate depth, allowing divers to explore its well-preserved structure, including sections of the hull and remnants of cargo. Over time, the ship has become a thriving artificial reef, attracting an abundance of marine life. Schools of jackfish and barracuda patrol the wreck, while colorful corals and sponges cover its surfaces.

Due to its remote location, diving at Levanzo is an exclusive experience, with pristine visibility and no crowds. Combined with the untouched reefs of Elba, this wreck makes for a unique addition to any expedition exploring the farthest reaches of Egypt’s Red Sea.
