  This is a diving guide to two historic relics of World War Two. In the space of two days in October 1941, German bombers sank two British cargo ships, the Thistlegorm and the Rosalie Moller, in the Gulf of Suez. Rediscovered by divers in 1992, the Thistlegorm became one of the most famous shipwrecks in the world and one of the favorite attractions for Red Sea divers. In 1993, the shipwreck of the Rosalie Moller, which lies in a more inaccessible site, was also found, and is only now becoming well known. This fully illustrated guide introduces divers to the intricate secrets of these two fascinating wrecks.
