Dive in Sudan

The Blue Belt was a cargo that sunk december 2, 1977. It was carying many Toyota vehicles when she sunk. She lies upside down on the drop-off, between 15m and 70+m.

There is the rest of a wooden fishing boat on the northen side. The southern part is full of soft corals.

The southern tip offers a great dive site: Superb living corals, sharks and mantas!

All sides are excellent, but the N part seems the best to see sharks.

Take care: There is often a strong surface current!Incredible drop-off dive all around the island, including sharks, pelagic, etc.

The east side of Masamirit offers a great drop-off dive. Seen many sharks and turtles.

Merlo is a very nice reef, as good as Angarosh reef. Sharks and sometime mantas can be seen here. There is also a small wreck on the northwest side of the reef.

A very famous dive site for shark diving.

Very nice living corals, barracuda shoals, sharks...

Great reef, including a lot of different sharks (Hammerhead sharks, Grey reef sharks, Whitetip reef sharks). A must!

An excellent night dive.

Probably one of the most well-known dive site of Sudan! This was the place for Jacques Cousteau's Conshelf II experiment in 1963. The rest of a dome is still at 9 m deep just south after the west passage of the reef.

A great dive site, much more interesting than the closer Conshelf site (only interesting because of the Cousteau's historic experiment and wonderful hard and soft corals).Here you find everything! From the tiny sea slug to hammerhead sharks, jacks, tunas, etc.I am amazed that 2-5 kt is a "moderate"…

The wreck "Umbria" has a cargo of 360.000 bombs that makes the exploring of the wreck still more exciting. The "Umbria" is one of the most famous sunken ships in the world. Lying in the shelter of Wingate Reef, just outside Port Sudan and largely unaffected by currents and tides, it is within easy…

A very classical dive of the area.

Nor far from the Umbria wreck. May be a good second dive.

The Blue Belt is a cargo ship that sank in December 1977. The cargo was made up of cars, trucks, tractors and spare parts - hence the alternative name of the Toyota Wreck. It is suggested that the crew were smuggling goods from Saudi Arabia at the time and were attempting to pass through the gap in…

Fasima Suedi is located at a gap in an otherwise very long, unbroken reef call Sha'ab Suedi. It is a pretty coral garden with the opportunity to amble around coral pinnacles. Trevally and jacks are seen out into the deeper water and it is not unknown for dolphins to use Fasima Suedi as a place to…
