Sudan — Egypt Transfer
A unique transfer route between Sudan and Egypt: when the high diving season ends in one region, the yacht moves to the other, with diving continuing along the way. The program combines the best dive sites of two countries in one expedition.
The Sudanese portion includes Umbria wreck, Sanganeb, Sha’ab Rumi, Merlo, Abington, Angarosh, and rarely visited reefs Gota Abushagara, Gota Ilaria, Gota Lali, Qumeira, and Pfaiffer. The Egyptian portion — St. John, Samadai dolphin reef, famous Elphinstone, and Safaga reefs. Two seas, dozens of sites, continuous diving.
