Diving in Sudan
Sudan is well known for hammerhead sharks!
Sudan is also rich in marine life; in fact the coast and the coral reefs are fascinating, still untouched, and most of all, less visited than the Egyptian reefs. Sudan is one of the most surprising and mysterious scuba destinations in the Northern hemisphere. Still relatively undiscovered, these waters are ideal for those who are looking for new adventures and for exciting close encounters with big pelagic: grey sharks, hammerhead sharks, manta rays, barracudas, jack fish, turtles etc.
Dive sites like Sanganeb, Sha’abSuedi, Angarosh and Sha’ab Rumi with the famous wreck of the Continental Shelf Station Two, are wonderful and unmissable !!!
