BNSullivan.jpg "Diving the Wreck of the Dunraven in the Red Sea")
As the Dunraven sank, its water-filled hull capsized, and it settled onto the bottom upside down. Today the ship’s inverted hull is split in two at about the midpoint of its length.
The opening there makes for easy entry to the inside of the wreck by divers: A standard dive on this wreck entails entering there, swimming forward through the wreck, and exiting through the hole in the bow that was created by the impact that sunk the vessel.
The inside of the wreck is dark, so it is necessary to bring along bright hand-held lights in order to find your way through the vessel, and also to see features of the ship’s interior, its boilers, and the marine creatures that now call the Dunraven home.
