Abu Galawa Kebir

Abu Galawa Kebir is a reef and wreck dive site in the Fury Shoals region of the Red Sea. Its principal wreck is the Tien Hsing (commonly called the "Tienstin"), a steam tug of approximately 300 tons and 35 metres in length, built at Ta Chung Hua Shipbuilding & Engineering Works in Shanghai in 1935. She was transiting from Suez to Massawa, Eritrea, when she ran aground and sank here on 26 October 1943. A sunken sailing yacht also rests nearby at the site.

The Tien Hsing lies at the base of the southern slope of the reef towards the western end, running parallel to the reef in 17–18 metres of water, registered to starboard at roughly 40–45 degrees. Only the bow breaks the surface at low tide, and the rudder and propeller are partially buried in the sandy bottom. All wooden parts are long gone, leaving a steel superstructure heavily encrusted with hard and soft corals, particularly on the port (upper) side. The keel is intact, allowing divers to swim beneath the hull between the reef and the keel. Two doors on the starboard side give access to the pilot's cabin and the engine room, where the engine and boilers remain in place; a third penetration point on the starboard aft leads into a small bathroom with the toilet still present. The surrounding reef extends from about 3 metres to a maximum of 18–20 metres.

Marine life around the wreck and reef includes whitetip reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse, giant moray eels, schools of glassfish, lionfish, moray eels, nudibranchs, octopuses, clownfish, and blue-spotted stingrays. The nearby sailing yacht shelters colorful reef fish and offers good conditions for macro photography.
