Chrisoula K

Divers call her the Tile Wreck, and the name explains the cargo better than any manifest: hold after hold of Italian floor tiles, still stacked in neat, fused columns. Built in Lübeck, Germany, in 1954 and later sold into Greek ownership as Chrisoula K, she was carrying the tiles from Italy toward Jeddah when, on 31 August 1981, she ran hard onto the northeast corner of Sha'ab Abu Nuhas. The impact wrecked her bow against the reef crest; the rest of the hull flooded and settled down the slope. Every crew member was rescued. Guidebooks have long argued over identity at this crowded reef corner (a sister casualty, the Marcus, also went down nearby with tiles aboard), but the wreck dived today as Chrisoula K rewards the visit regardless: an engine room full of gauges and catwalks, a proud stern, and that improbable ceramic cargo.

她是如何沉没的: Struck Sha'ab Abu Nuhas at full speed, 31 August 1981.

环境条件: Stern and midships hold together well; the bow is flattened wreckage in the shallows. Some published accounts debate which Abu Nuhas casualty this hull truly is.

穿越式潜水: Full With Training. The multi-level engine room and tile holds are genuine overhead environments; trained wreck divers only, ideally with a guide who knows the exits. 进入任何封闭式环境都需要专项培训：至少需要沉船潜水认证，完整穿越则需要技术级沉船培训。

建议持有证书: Advanced Open Water

水流: Mild · 能见度: 10–25 m

海洋生物: Groupers and lionfish patrol the tile stacks, fusiliers stream over the deck, and hard corals have claimed the mast and railings.

危险因素: Silt and confined spaces in the engine room; surge near the reef top; sharp collapsed plating forward.

The tiles belong to the wreck; removal is prohibited.
