HELP PROTECT THE REEF.

AS THE SUDANESE COAST LINE IS THE LAST UNDISTURBED WATER (REEEF7FUNA) WE WANT TO DO OUR BEST EFFORT TO KEEP IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, HEALTHY AND PURE. FOR US AND FOR OUR NEW GENERATIONS. WORLD WIDE.
SO PUT IN MIND THESE FEW LINES AS YOU DIVE ANYWHERE.
THANK YOU. BE -A.W.R.E. DIVER.
WITH RESPECT TO PADI. AND THE WORD OF RESPONSIBLE DIVERS.

Dive carefully in fragile aquatic ecosystems such as coral reefs. Many aquatic organisms are fragile that are harmed by the bump of a tank, knee or camera, a swipe of a fin or even the touch of a hand. By being careful you can prevent devastating and long-lasting damage to magnificent dive sites.

Be aware of your body and equipment placement when diving. Keep your gauges and alternate air source secured so they don’t drag over the reef or bottom. Control your buoyancy, taking care not to touch fragile organisms with your body or equipment

Keep your dive skills sharp with continuing education. Before heading to the reefs, seek bottom time with a certified professional in a pool or other environment that won’t be damaged. Or refresh your skills and knowledge with a PADI Scuba Review, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course or Project AWARE Specialty course.

Consider how your interactions effect aquatic life. Resist the temptation to touch, handle, feed and even hitch rides on certain aquatic life. Your actions may cause stress to the animal, interrupt feeding and mating behavior or provoke aggressive behavior in normally nonaggressive species.

Understand and respect underwater life. Using them as toys or food for other animals can leave a trail of destruction, disrupt local ecosystems and rob other divers of experiencing these creatures. Consider enrolling in a Project AWARE Underwater Naturalist Specialty course to understand sustainable interactions

Resist the urge to collect souvenirs. Dive sites can be depleted of their resources and beauty in a short time. If you want to return from dives with souvenirs, consider underwater photography

If you hunt and/or gather game, obey all fish and game laws. Local laws are designed to ensure the reproduction and survival of these animals. As an underwater hunter, understand your effect on the environment and respect the rights of other divers in the area who are not hunting.

Report environmental disturbances or destruction of your dive sites. As a diver, you are in a unique position to monitor the health of local waterways. Report these observations to responsible authorities in your country.

Be a role model for other divers in diving and nondiving interaction with the environment. As a diver, you see the underwater results of carelessness and neglect. Set a good example in your own interactions and other divers and nondivers will follow suit.


Get involved in local environmental activities and issues. You affect your corner of the planet. There are plenty of opportunities to show your support of a clean aquatic environment, including participating in local beach and underwater cleanups, attending public hearings that impact local water resources and supporting environmental legislative issues.

WE SUDANDIVERS WISH YOU THE BEST DIVING , AND WE HOPE THAT YOU'D FOLLOW THE RULE OF RESPONSIBLE DIVING. HAVE A WONDERFULL HOLLYDAY.

sudanese dive sites

The diving in these areas is on the world top of coral pinnacles that reach up from great depths to the coral reefs close to the surface. These reefs are not highly visited by divers, due to the insufficient infrastructure in the Sudan and the difficulty in reaching the reefs in anymeaning of transport other than a well equipped liveaboard.

The reefs are pristine and with unsurpassed visibility making diving in Sudanese Red Sea some of the best in the world.


Angarosh

The most famous site in the north is Angarosh, or Um El Qurush - "mother of sharks". A small pillar rising up from a seabed 700 m down, which is a good place for sighting big silvertip sharks (Carcharhinus Albimarginatus) and schooling hammerheads.

Abington Reef

Close by is Abington Reef which also presents a good chance for shark sightings. Closer to shore in this area you will find Donganeb Bay and the Mesharifa Channel. In September October each year, the mantas gather there to play. As many as 30 manta rays can be seen during one dive. Even further north is the Elba Reef a huge reef with a plateau to the north and to the south.
To the south one can find the wreck of the Labanzo. A big ship which went under in the early 1900's. It is a very seldom visited wreck, and has lots of Sherry bottles laying everywhere on the bottom.

Shab Suadi: (Blue Belt)

This is the most northerly of the reefs visited by the day boats in Sudan, it is here that the wreck of the Blue Belt lies, she is a fairly modern freighter. The bow is at 15m and the stern lies in 70m, please observe the dive limit of 40m and watch out for Tiger sharks who are known to inhabit the deeper parts of the wreck.

Shab Rumi

This is the home of the famous Cousteau habitat "Precontinent II" put down in 1963. You will dive this impressive structure including the equipment shed and the flying saucer and by amazed what was achieved over 35 years ago. The feature of this site is how the sea has taken over the remains with a delicate encrustation of corals.

Shab Rumi south point

This dive could seriously be called challenging as the reef is swept be strong currents. The gentle slope takes you to 20mts and from there the wall drops to 700mts. On all sides of this reef you will find all the species of the Red Sea, including large Barracudas and large Sharks which will come close to investigate. Night diving here is in the enclosed lagoon.

Sanganeb

A stunning reef rising from a depth of 800mts this is a truly amazing reef. The small coral island has a British built lighthouse and the diving is everything any diver could wish for, with rich displays of hard and soft corals, large schools of Barracuda and large Grey reef sharks. In the deeper water you will find Hammerheads passing in large groups.


Wingate Reef (Umbria)

This reef is the last resting place of the wreck of the Umbria, to divers a name nearly as famous as the Thistlegorm. She went down on 9th June 1940 while carrying war materials including 300,000 bombs for the Italian troops in East Africa. How or why she went down is a bit of a mystery but here are many stories I am sure you will hear. The wreck lies on her port side in 35-40mts of water.
