Aida

The Aida served Egypt's lighthouse stations, and in September 1957 heavy seas drove her against the island she was provisioning. Her stern section now hangs on Big Brother's slope from about 30 meters down toward 60, angled with the terrain so that swimming her feels like descending a staircase built by accident. Soft corals sheath the railings, glassfish smoke through the superstructure, and the surrounding wall keeps offering sharks to divers who look away from the steel. The depth does the editing here: recreational visitors get minutes at the upper works before the ascent, while trimix teams treat Aida and the deep Numidia as a paired itinerary. Skippers brief her with respect - the same weather that sank her still sets the schedule.

Het moment waar je voor komt: A deep, coral-sheathed hull on a dramatic slope; pairing with the island's shark traffic; a true depth-discipline dive.

Topografie: A supply vessel's hull lying bow-down on the steep slope between roughly 30 and 60 meters

Instap: On Big Brother's northwest side; usually combined with the island wall, with strict depth and time gates.

Gevaren: Serious depth with short no-deco windows; current on the exposed corner; overhead sections for trained teams only.

Nitrox: Hier de moeite waard: profielen liggen in het bereik waar nitrox de no-stop-tijd zinvol verlengt (met de juiste training om het te gebruiken).
