Sudan Diving Holidays

The Sudan is a vast country that sits just beneath Egypt and enjoys a similar warm climate all year round. With no respect for land boundaries, the Red Sea sneaks over the border and into Sudan and as such the rich marine life that is so abundant further north can also be found here. Yet, unlike Egypt, Sudan is still unchartered territory. With only a handful of liveaboards operating in the region, you are guaranteed a week of isolation both above and below the waves. Large pelagics such as hammerheads, tiger sharks, grey reef and mantas make Sudan the place for serious big fish lovers. Not least famous for large the WW2 wreck of the Umbria and Cousteau’s visionary Con Shelf II, Sudan has plenty to offer the diver looking for somewhere a bit different for their next trip. The local and international connections in Sudan have improved greatly of late and the country welcomes divers to her shores.
