Deep North Sudan
An exclusive route for those who have already visited classic Sudan dive sites and seek new, rarely visited locations. The expedition starts from Mohammed Qol — a small fishing village in northern Sudan, significantly reducing transit time between dive sites.
The program covers Merlo, Angarosh, Abington reefs, as well as lesser-known Sha’ab Qumeira, Gota Shin’ab, Abu Bish Bish, and Pfaiffer Reef — the latter considered the most scenic on this route. Distance from main routes guarantees minimal other vessels and pristine underwater landscapes.
