    I dived this wreck a month after it went down. I regretted it as it was basically a grave yard. As a sign of respect we were told not to go inside as 500 souls, maybe more went down with it. There were walkmans and suitcases littering the sea bed. A sobering heart wrenching experience.

    To say any ship is unsinkable is a slap in the face of reality...if it floats it can sink . The same with airplanes...what goes up must come down . God Bless to all who lost their lives,May they rest in peace.

    From Scuba life: History of the MV Salem Express
    Since it was transporting passengers returning from the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, the ferry was filled to capacity, with estimates of people on board at around 650. Only 180 passengers were rescued after the wreck, but the total loss of lives is a point of dispute. The official number is 470, a figure that was reached by subtracting the number of survivors from the maximum number of passengers allowed on board. This figure has long been disputed, as it’s common for ferries in the area to sail over capacity during the pilgrimage season. Some reports have indicated that there may have been as many as 1,000

      Anyone who has visited this area of the world during peak season knows full well that the ships are packed well beyond "official capacity" which effectively has no meaning there to begin with , and is generally an unenforced technicality. I would be surprised if there werent more than 1,000 aboard when it went down ,although it is easy to see why both the Owners as well as the Govt want to use the much lower " official" number.

      @@movieforge01 grave robbers have been always around, i absolutely agree that its a despicable way of treating the memory of humans who passed away no matter how or where, but especially in cases like this where 99% of the things were just personal belongings like clothes, long since eroded electronics & bags, its not like this ship has carried gold bars. But still, last i heard almost nothing of the luggage remains as divers over the years took a bunch of "souvenirs". I think wrecks like these should be restricted from access for at least 50 years or until the last of the relatives have passed, they have no knowledge to offer like all the historic wrecks from hundreds of years ago, its just a tragedy that ppl dive because of the shock factor. Nevermind how dangerous these wrecks get that have cars & other heavy cargo pushing against rusting metal walls where ppl dive trough, cables & pipes posing a high risk of trapping, so i would highly advise against diving these sites unless somebody wants to join them in their watery grave.
      There are many recreational wrecks of ships that have been sunk on purpouse, there is no reason to disturb a mass grave except morbid curiosity.
