[Dive] The Thistlegorm wreck in 3D

I stumbled onto the website of FourthElement via a twittermessage of @AbigailSmigel. I checked the website out and found some interesting pictures and a 3D wreck map of the Thistlegorm in Egypt.

It is still on my list of dive spots to do ... so I hope the situation calms down soon in Egypt.

Some info of the Thistlegorm

The SS Thistlegorm was a British armed Merchant Navy ship, which sank on 6 October 1941 near Ras Muhammad in the Red Sea. In the early fifties Jacques Cousteau discovered her using information from local fishermen, today its accessible depth as well as being relatively intact, make it one of the most popular dive sites in the world.
