Salem Express – Awe and Respect
Yesterday, I had my very first wreck dive. It was the wreck of the Salem Express, which sank in 1991 off the coast of Safaga. It was a strange and solemn feeling, knowing the history of the Salem Express, which is considered an official grave site. You can read about the story online, for example on Google.
With that background and awareness in mind, we descended. There were two dives, and the sight of this massive ship was overwhelming — I couldn’t capture in photos what emotions and feelings arose during those two dives. I will make a short video about these two dives, both of which were deep dives recorded at 26 meters in my logbook.
Out of respect for those who still rest within the wreck, I only explored the Salem Express from the outside and did not enter the interior of the ship.
