The Excalibur or Suzanna was a live-aboard vessel or safari boat which sank in 1995. The reason for her sinking is not sure but traces of fire have been found. She lies on her side in a small sand lagoon and has many openings which can be explored. Be careful though as she hasn't found her final resting place yet. Unfortunately, the mast with all its fitting rests on the ocean floor as diving boats have struck and damaged it.

She lies only a few hundreds meter from Ramoza beach and can be dived by boat as well as from the beach. She is a very young wreck but the coverage of soft coral has already begun. Many glassfish and lionfish swim around the wreck and they say it is the only place where seahorses can be found in Hurghada. Dolphins and turtles have been reported as well but they are not very common.

This wreck is in front of Voodoodivers in Bella Vista resort. I did several nightdives there with them. Amazing!
