ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Wreck of the Louilla resting on top of Gordon reef in the Straits of Tiran, just by the edge of the Sinai. Beneath her lies a pile of her anchor chains. Wrecks are very soon part of the eco-system they get in contact with. Soft corals develop very soon and if hitting the bottom at the right place, the can become shelter of life. But also, they can have devastating effect on their surroundings. This wreck sits on top of Gordon reef, battered by the waves and is slowly deteriorating. Last summer, part of the superstructure collapsed, and the wreck lost it's epic, cinematic look. In a few decades, the reef should be free again.
