South Sudan
A route through the southern Sudanese Red Sea covering premium dive sites south of Port Sudan. The program is designed for 5 nights and includes multiple dives daily, including night dives. The yacht passes through various reef systems — from pinnacles and coral walls to extensive plateaus.
The route includes locations such as Sha’ab Jibna, Sha’ab Ambar, Pinnacle Reef, Protector Reef, Hindi Gidir, Keary, and Logan Reef. A flexible program allows guides to adapt the route depending on weather conditions and group preferences. Optimal timing is late March, April, and May.
