Ah well, I only went the once and we saw 12 of them (together), one or

Normal get up time in Sharm for a visit to the Thistlegorm is 4am! Mind you,
it's always there so the chances are close to a 100% sighting.

I did it on a liveaboard. It was still dark when we got in the water. Our
group had the wreck to ourselves. And I and my buddy managed to lose the
rest of them somehow :) Was a nice, peaceful dive.
