Dive site information: The blue belt wreck is a wreck after a Saudi Arabian general cargo vessel that sunk 5 December 1977. The ship carried a shipment of cars, trucks and trailers when it sunk. There are rumours that this ship was used for smuggling when it sunk but there are no evidence supporting such allegations and the owners were very respectable in the local community. The wreck is 103.82m x 14.3m / 342 x 47 feet. This is a very impressive wreck dive comparable to Thistlegorm , but the wreck is unfortunately inaccessible due too the large depth the wreck rests on and the fact that the wreck is laying upside down. Only advanced scuba divers should attempt this dive due to the large depth. This wreck is also often erroneous called the blue bell.

Marine life: The Blue belt is primarily a wreck diver and divers will not have time for much more then the ship due to the large depth on which the wreck is resting.
