Videos from wrecks and reefs

Diving the Maidan (147 Mb/1350 kbps)

A beautiful wreck, over hundred meter long in crystal clear water in the Egyptian Red Sea … the dream of every wreck diver. The challenges? The vessel sank in 100 meters (330 feet) of water on a small remote island. Currents can be strong in this part of the Red Sea. Finding the wreck is not easy because there is no permanent marker on the wreck and the location is only known to a select group of people. And if a diving accident were to happen … the nearest deco chamber is hours away. The “Maidan” is certainly not your average wreck dive. In October 2008, the Submerge Productions team had the opportunity to do a single dive on this rarely dived wreck. This video podcast tells the story of their dive, shows you this magnificent wreck and gives you an overall impression of what deep wreck diving is all about.
