Kimon "M"
Depth: 6-32 M
Wreck, Liveaboard Only
Drove hard onto the northeast cost corner of Shaab Abu Nuhas reef in 1978 with about 4, 5 tones of lentils on board.
From the base of the superstructure to the stern, the vessel is nearly complete. Access into the ship is through the hole in the port side which was cut by the salvage team. This provides access directly into the engineering compartment. With much of the equipment having been removed this provides an easy swim-through with views forward to where the No. 2 hold was, and is also another access/exit point. The aft area of the engine room still contains piping, gauges, and numerous valves. Exiting from the engine room and following the hull of the ship aft to the stern at 30-32 meters where the propeller and rudder are found on the bottom. Coming around the stern and heading forward along the main deck, which is now vertical, deck equipment can still be seen, along with a swim through the 2 aft cargo holds, now empty. Continuing forward to the rear of the superstructure there is access to the bridge and accommodation areas.
