Hossam — SDI dive instructor in Dahab
Scuba Diving Specialty Instructor

Who is Hossam?

More than a dive instructor — a friend in the water

“There is no life with despair … and no despair with life.”

Hossam “Joba” Alamrawy is a passionate SDI dive instructor based in Dahab, on the shores of the Red Sea. For years he has been sharing his love for the ocean with students from all over the world — from complete beginners taking their first breath underwater to certified divers exploring the legendary Blue Hole and Canyon.

His philosophy is simple: diving is not just a skill, it's a way of life. Every dive teaches something new, and every student is welcomed like family. With Hossam you don't just learn to dive — you laugh, you grow, and you fall in love with the ocean.

He teaches in English, Chinese (中文) and Arabic, and is especially loved by his Chinese-speaking students from 小红书 (RedNote).

“Strict like a ‘bossy CEO’ — he makes you repeat everything until you get it right. But behind the stern exterior, he genuinely cares.”

Special diving trips

SS Thistlegorm Wreck

A journey through history — one of the Red Sea's most famous wrecks.

The SS Thistlegorm is a British armed merchant ship built in Sunderland, England, in 1940. During World War II, she carried military supplies for British forces, including trucks, motorcycles, ammunition, aircraft equipment, railway equipment, and two LMS Stanier Class 8F steam locomotives.

On October 6, 1941, the Thistlegorm was attacked by German aircraft while anchored in the Red Sea. Two bombs struck the area around Hold No. 4, where ammunition was stored, causing a massive explosion that broke the ship apart and sank her. Today, more than 80 years later, the Thistlegorm remains one of the Red Sea's most famous historic wrecks.

First dive — inside the wreck

Explore the interior and cargo holds, where many original military vehicles, motorcycles, equipment, ammunition, and other wartime supplies remain.

Second dive — outside the wreck

Explore the exterior of the wreck, including the bow, stern, guns, ship structure, explosion area, scattered wartime cargo, and the two steam locomotives.

Third dive — Ras Mohammed

After the Thistlegorm dives, the day can continue with a third dive at Ras Mohammed National Park, one of the Red Sea's most famous reef areas.

Respect the wreck

The Thistlegorm is not simply a dive site. It is a real World War II historical site. Please maintain good buoyancy control. Do not touch, remove, or disturb anything on the wreck. We dive it today so future generations can experience its history tomorrow.
