About this site
The Chrisoula K is one of the Red Sea's most legendary shipwrecks, a Greek-registered cargo vessel resting on the Shaab Abu Nuhas reef near El Gouna, Egypt, at depths of approximately 20–28 metres (with the shallowest point around 5 m).
The wreck sits on the reef with its shallowest structure at around 5 m and the hull extending down to 28 m, giving a maximum recorded depth of 26.8 m; the site is dived by boat, with Shaab Abu Nuhas serving as the reef system on which the ship came to rest.
Marine life on the Chrisoula K includes glassfish, triggerfish, turkeyfish, lionfish, wrasse, jacks, and sharks, all commonly encountered around the wreck structure.

Current at the site can range from weak to strong, and active wave action should be expected; visibility is generally great, though conditions can vary with current strength. Despite the medium current and wave exposure, the site is considered suitable for beginner divers.
