A Brit photographer discovered the incredible underwater world where coral and barnacles have grown on top of military cars and tanks.

Super Jolly, 37, from Berkshire, travelled down to the SS Thistlegorm, wrecked off the coast of Egypt, in April.
The incredible pictures show Bedford trucks, Norton motorcycles and armoured vehicles.
They are all encrusted in a thick layer of sea life.
After sinking in the 1940s, the SS Thistlegorm became a beacon for wildlife in the Red Sea and is now one of the most popular diving sites in the world.




The photographer snapped the incredible images on holiday in April.
Built in 1941 in Glasgow, Scotland, the impressive cargo ship was originally intended to make port in Alexandria, Egypt.
But the mighty vessel disappeared en route.
