Kormoran

The Kormoran wreck is the fourth wreck in the Abu Nuhas area and is smaller than the others. It is located close to the Chrisoula K wreck, allowing divers to do a drift dive and explore both wrecks if they have enough air. The wreck is between 5m to 27m deep. The Kormoran, built in 1963 in the Rostock shipyards (Germany), hit the reef bordering the island of Tiran (Laguna Reef) in August 1984 due to a navigation error. The impact caused significant damage to the vessel, including the loss of its bow, two large cracks on its left side, and irreparable damage to the superstructure. Divers can enjoy the relatively unknown wreck and admire the stunning views of attractive coral formations on the surrounding seabed. Marine life at the site includes stone fish, scorpion fish, morays, nudibranchs, stingrays, lion fish, snappers, box fish, and soft coral.
