Yolanda (ship)
Jolanda (also called Yolanda) was a Cypriot cargo ship built in 1964 in Gijón, Spain by SA Juliana Constructora. She was grounded on a reef at Ras Muhammad on 1 April 1980. From 1981 to 1985, the wreck was a popular dive site, but it was lost when it fell off the reef during a storm in March 1987. The wreck remained lost for 20 years until it was rediscovered by Leigh Cunningham and Mark Andrews at a depth of 145–160 metres (476–525 ft) in 2005. Today, cargo from the wreckage, including British toilets, bath tubs and pipes, is visited by recreational divers.
