The dive guide probably wouldn't dive this wreck because of the number of people that died when she went down. I think it was in the region of nine hundred.

Guess where this came from !

"....Officially, the vessel was carrying 650 persons - 578 passengers and 72 crew. Although many people insist she was carrying up to twice as many passengers, further speculation serves no useful purpose. The official death toll was set at 470 and, in any event, it is highly unlikely that the port officials of Jeddah would have allowed a grossly overloaded boat to depart.
Naturally, relatives began demanding answers and, initially at least, the crew were criticized when it became known that most of the lifeboats and liferafts had gone down with the ship. In all fairness, however, there was little time between impact and sinking to have achieved anything - especially as the ship had adopted a severe list almost immediately. Of course, the one man responsible for everything that happened on that dreadful night was Captain Hassan Moro - and he went down with his ship.
Over the next few days, many bodies were recovered from the cabins and accommodations all along the uppermost port side, but as this task got deeper and deeper it eventually became too dangerous. A halt was called and the Egyptian Navy stepped in to seal the vessel from all further intrusion...."

Due to the massive loss of life. Just wouldn't be comfortable doing it. I may be wrong (usually am!), but I understand there are still many bodies within the vessel.

EDIT: That's not to say I have particularly strong views on others doing so, I just think if I went to the RS, there are plenty of other dives that I'd rather do.

Understood, you can't be wrong about how you feel.....

It's a dive that should be done respectfully. As you can see, there's a lot of personal effects still on the sea bed, a lot has been moved and/or tampered with too since the last time I dived her about 5 years ago.

I have no issues with diving such a wreck, but I do believe in look don't touch and be remember why it's there too....

Nice video,

I dived the Salem express back in 2005 and after the dive there was none of the usual banter between everybody, It was a very sombre livaboard for a while after.

yes ive been told the same sparky by many who have dove it as well!

i suppose as divers we all make choices about what we dive ! and to be honest i think the dive guide who was in charge of the sites we where diving was spot on ,not to want us to dive on it !

theres so many buitifull wrecks in the red sea without having to worry about 1 that you dont feel comfy on ?

best wishes leigh
