Sudan

See some of the most spectacular and fascinating underwater scenery you could ever imagine whilst diving in Sudan.

Insider’s View

Sudan is a country in Northeast Africa, it can be found just below Egypt and the Red Sea. Steeped in history it holds a legendary whisper within the dive community due to restrictions of the past around Sudan waters.

However, it has benefitted from this immensely because the reefs and wrecks around there remain in excellent condition and are uncrowded. Sudan is the place to go for outstanding pelagic diving! In particular Port Sudan is now one of the top ‘go to’ destinations in the world according to many recent dive reviews.

This is undoubtedly down to the remarkable and completely untouched underwater world that lies only a few miles from Port Sudan itself. It offers crystal clear waters, untouched reefs and an abundance of marine life including a huge variety of sharks, turtles, 1500 species of fish and around 400 different varieties of coral this should be on every diver’s bucket list!

From the vast number of hammerheads to the elegant flight of manta rays overhead, the vibrant coral reefs such as Cousteau’s Underwater Village and world know wrecks such as Umbria Sudan offers a remarkable underwater world that will not disappoint. The best way to visit Sudan is by liveaboard and with its deep waters, strong currents, drift dive it best suits experienced diver with a minimum of 50 logged dives.
