These are the sad remains of ca. 40 Universal Carrier MKII pushed down a cliff by the israelis when they retreated from sinai peninsula. For sure the simplest way to get rid of them back in those days.


The deepest tank is at 38 Meters


on just a bit slopy sand ground.


A Trailer is head down


and upwards there's a huge stack of tanks, or better, tracked vehicles.


In my opinion the most beautiful one, with huge coral plants.


Truck


Chassis of trucks and trailers.


If the sun is in the right angle and the water is clear down there, you can make a photo of the hole bunch there at the steep slope.


It was for sure some nice rumble when they all ended up there back then and wedged into each other .


Beside this, this diving location doesn't offer much. 
No Corals and no fish diversity.
Really only for people enjoying wrecks.
