About Birchwood 11

Also known as The Plastic Wreck. She was a small cargo vessel that sank a few years ago due to unknown reasons. This wreck is considered to be one of the easiest werck dives in the Suez Gulf and can be found laying on her starboard side in a depth of 12 meters. Since her remains are situated in a bay, diving conditions here are great and all level divers are welcome to come and explore her. Abundant marine life now inhabits her along with good coral growth.
