I wish dive masters would take notice of this important fact, she was a proud ship and fought an angry battle that led to her epic demise.
The wreckages of 2 Israeili planes she shot down lie nearby....
Good to hear you enjoyed Hurghada. It is a great little dive destination  |
Thanks for that info Ahmed
The divemasters on Blue Horizon told us the story of the brave battle, but not that the name was El Menya rather than El Mina.
Good to have the proper name - have a green
[Edit] Bah! Have to spread it around...have a virtual green instead
