Yolanda (ship)
Yolanda was a Cypriot cargo ship that grounded on a reef at Ras Muhammad in April 1980.[1] From 1981 to 1985, the wreck was a popular driving site, but it was lost when it fell off the reef during a storm in 1985.[1] The wreck remained lost for twenty years until it was rediscovered by Leigh Cunningham and Mark Andrews at a depth of 145 to 160 meters in 2005.[2] Today, cargo from the wreckage, including British toilets, bath tubs and pipes, is visited by recreational divers.[3]
