Sudan Liveaboards | Dive Holidays

Sudan Liveaboards

Sudan marks the final frontier of Red Sea scuba diving holidays with a myriad of diving opportunities that will thrill. Yet Sudan is a vast country and her seas are no less expansive... a liveaboard in Sudan remains the only way to really experience all that is on offer to scuba divers. Our Sudan liveaboards will get you to the sites where the diving is fast, furious and deeply satisfying. Other boats are seldom seen here and you will be hard pressed to find another vessel. Escape from the crowds and settle into the relaxing routine of dive, eat and sleep as you zip between the off shore reef systems that dot the horizon. You can be sure that your Sudanese liveaboard itinerary will reveal an underwater wonderland in all its glory.

Sudan is home to some of the most exciting pelagic diving in the Red Sea. From drift dives to submerged plateaus, there is no end of marine life to see underwater. Throngs of barracuda, tuna and snapper weave between the lavish soft coral pinnacles. Sponges, sea fans and hard corals complete the scenery. Grey reef sharks are common and can often be found at a cleaning station or cruising in the blue. Hammerheads school alongside the enormous bumphead parrot fish. Manta congregate on the Northern reefs and there is always a chance a tiger shark will be spotted slinking along the reef. And with the awesome Umbria, Blue Belt wreck and Cousteau's Con Shelf II to complete the programme, fish lovers and wrecks heads will have a trip to remember.

We had an absolutely fantastic trip, visiting the deep south of Sudan for what has to be some of the best diving we've ever done.

The diving season opens in Sudan in September and closes May/June. Manta can be found between September-October and January-March is the perfect time for hammerheads although sharks of all kinds can be seen throughout the whole season.

Diving Highlights

This is a big fish destination with sharks and manta as the big attraction in terms of the marine life but there is also a great variety of corals and the wrecks are fabulous too. Keep your eyes open for:

  • Hammerheads
  • Tiger sharks
  • Manta
  • The Umbria Wreck

Top dive sites to visit: Angarosh, Shaab Rumi, Meshrafi, Sanganeb, the Umbria, Suakin Islands.

Scuba Travel Tips

Save time and hassle by going via Egypt into Sudan! You need to make sure you don't have any Isreali stamps in your passport and at least 4 pages for all of the visas stamps to fit in. Your passport must be valid for 6 months on your return date. An SMB and reel is a must as there can be some quick currents (but no reef hooks here).
