The Kimon M was a German cargo ship that struck Abu Nahas reef in December 1978, running on at speed with a hold full of lentils. The cargo gave her the name divers use, the lentil wreck, and the impact left her broken across the reef with the bow section shattered on the shallow coral.

She lies on her starboard side, and the stern is the dive: intact, with the engine room and superstructure reaching down to around 32m on the sand. That depth makes her the deepest of the four Abu Nahas wrecks and the one most exposed to current, which is why she sees fewer divers than the Giannis D or the Carnatic. For those who make the trip, the stern is large, atmospheric and rich with coral and schooling fish.

This is the most demanding wreck on the reef. The depth eats into no-decompression time, the bow is a debris field on the reef top, and current across the site can be strong. Treat it as an advanced dive, watch your gas and your computer, and keep penetration for trained divers with a guide.
