About this site
The Million Hope is a large cargo ship that ran aground on the reef near Ras Nasrani, Sharm el Sheikh, in the Sinai in the 1990s. It lies on its side, with part of the hull breaking the surface and the rest descending along the reef slope, and the wreck bottom here is rated an intermediate dive to a maximum depth of around 24 metres. The structure is encrusted with growth and holds batfish, lionfish, and nudibranchs, with divers also reporting Arabian Picasso triggerfish, barracuda, dusky surgeonfish, grouper, hammerhead sharks, Indo-Pacific sergeant majors, Klunzinger's wrasse, Red Sea raccoon butterflyfish, scorpionfish, small giant clams, snapper, Sohal surgeonfish, threadfin butterflyfish, trevally, and white-spotted puffers around the wreck. Divers have also reported rough seas, swell, and general sea conditions affecting this site, so it is worth checking conditions before diving it.
