Salem Express - Hurghada Dive Site

Salem Express is shown here because many divers ask about it, but it is not part of the normal Hurghada daily-diving rotation. Diving Star handles it only as a special request when weather, logistics, and diver level fit the route.

Ta trasa odbywa się wyłącznie na specjalne życzenie - nie wchodzi w skład standardowej rotacji nurkowań dziennych. Wymagana minimalna grupa, okno pogodowe i doświadczeni nurkowie.

Profil miejsca nurkowego

The Salem Express is a former Egyptian passenger ferry that sank in 1991. She sits on her starboard side at a maximum depth of 32 metres, with the port side rails around 12 metres and the bridge and upper decks accessible at intermediate depths. The standard recreational route stays external: down to the bow, along the hull to the stern, past the lifeboats and funnel, and back along the opposite side for a shallow safety stop. Penetration is strictly limited to properly trained wreck divers, and we do not run penetration on the special-request day unless specifically requested and qualified.

Jakie stworzenia można spotkać

The wreck has developed a rich artificial reef community - large groupers, schools of batfish on the starboard side, moray eels and glassfish in the bridge area. Sea life around the wreck is secondary to the wreck itself, which remains a historically significant and emotionally weighted site.

Najlepsza pora na to nurkowanie

Spring and autumn give the calmest surface conditions for the crossing from Safaga. Winter northerlies often cancel the run. Summer is workable but visibility can drop with plankton bloom.

Typowe warunki

Visibility 15 to 25 metres. Current is usually mild on the wreck itself, though the approach can have tidal flow. Depth limits bottom time quickly, so Nitrox 32 is strongly recommended for this dive.

Organizacja i praktyczne uwagi

Diving Star zatwierdza plan nurkowania rano w dniu wyjścia na podstawie wiatru, prądu i poziomu certyfikacji nurków. Dwa nurkowania dziennie to standard, z lunchem na łodzi między nurkowaniami. Wypożyczenie sprzętu to 20 € za dzień dla certyfikowanych nurków bez własnego zestawu.

Praktyczne wskazówki nurkowe

The Salem Express is also a memorial - around 470 people lost their lives here. Please dive it with respect: no penetration into cabin areas, no disturbance of personal items still visible on the wreck, and a quiet dive mindset. The dive is usually briefed on the boat with full historical context before descent.
