A dawn run to the Thistlegorm on Camel Tribe

The Thistlegorm is a three-hour boat from Sharm if you leave with the sun. Scubaverse’s day-trip piece is a photographer’s log, not a history essay. Nick and Caroline boarded Camel Tribe before breakfast, with a private guide they name as Beth, and reached the wreck early enough to have it to themselves on the first dive.

No current. Trucks in the holds. A remote strobe dropped into a lorry for a shot. The second dive is the bow, the bowsers, the outside. Other boats arrive; the chatter on the way home is from people who had never seen the cargo. The last line is the dry joke of a Sharm day boat: you can sleep in a bed, and it is Camel’s party night.

Why this is a Reef page

Wrecks are archaeology with fish on them. We file the day under Reef because the site is the subject, and because the piece is the clearest public description of a Camel boat on that run. Amy Oxtoby’s later ScubaPortal wreck brief is the history twin. Read both. Do not treat either as a dive plan.
