Even though, the focus has been placed more on Crocodile fish, many fish species are present on and around the wreck including barracuda, scorpionfish, moray eels, lionfish, turtles and other aquatic life. In addition to the living organisms, the wreck hosts variety of its original shipment of motorbikes, automobiles, trucks, trailers, armored cars and others. Because the Thistlegorm was classified as an armed freighter, it is considered as a war grave that must be treated with diver\u2019s respect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A_OPNxhjY_c?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video credit: Patricia Martin Cabrera (United Arab Emirates) Review: Abdel Rahman El Gamal (Founder of the video channel) The video was filmed is the premise of the British navy shipwreck \u201cThistlegorm\u201d located on the west coast of the Sinai Peninsula and 40 km from Sharm El Sheikh.
