Its eastern side is renowned for sightings of great swirling schools of barracuda, silky sharks, and large shoals of hammerhead sharks; then at 30 metres, on the south-eastern side, there is a cave that serves as a resting place for whitetip pups.</p><p><br></p><p>Nine miles from here lies the lagoon of Sha'ab Ambar, a safe overnight anchorage offering two beautiful dives on its northern and southern sides. Continuing on, you arrive at one of the few reefs in the South to enclose a sand island, known as "Turtle Island." This is Seil'Ada Kebir, which offers two dive sites (northern and southern sides) distinguished by the presence of large fans of gorgonians.</p><p><br></p><p>Heading further down, in a south-easterly direction, you come upon Keary Reef, a rocky column rising from the depths all the way to the sea surface. Another wonderful dive is the reef of Nakhalat al Qaseer (the Pinnacle), which rises from the deep and just grazes the surface; this site offers walls entirely covered in multicoloured coral, full of caves and crevices, with both migrating and resident big fish passing through.</p><p><br></p><p>Then there are Protector Reef and Preserver Reef, two virtually unexplored sites far offshore in Sudan's deep South. An original itinerary through sites that are truly little-visited yet utterly fascinating and remarkably well preserved—far from the usual dive spots and designed for those who, even today, wish to feel like conquerors setting out to discover wild and unusual places.</p></div>

A 35 miglia di navigazione si trova Sha’ab Rumi, considerato uno tra i dieci siti di immersione più belli al mondo. Immergersi a Sha’ab Rumi punta Sud è infatti per un subacqueo un’esperienza unica; questa immersione la si potrebbe fare cento volte e non annoierebbe mai.. acqua cristallina, colori vivaci, alcionari, coralli di tutti i tipi, distese di cernie, squali grigi stanziali e varie specie di pesci popolano questo pianoro dove, affacciandosi nel blu, l’incontro con i tanto desiderati squali martello è quasi una certezza.<br><br> Proseguendo la navigazione si raggiunge Quita El Banna, un reef isolato con splendide pareti che sprofondano verticali. Punto di incontro di mante e banchi di pelagici (in particolare tonni e carangidi di grosse dimensioni), questo luogo stupisce anche per la bellezza delle sue pareti rivestite da filari di gorgonie. Poche miglia ci separano dalla spettacolare immersione di Angarosh, situato a sud est dell’isola di Mesharifa, facilmente riconoscibile per la sua particolare morfologia esterna caratterizzata da un ampio isolotto di calcare corallino dalla forma allungata. Il suo nome in arabo significa “madre degli squali” e proprio loro, i banchi di squali martello e grigi, saranno i protagonisti di questa immersione davvero emozionante.<br><br> Dirigendoci a sud ovest di Angarosh, arriveremo a Merlo reef, altro meraviglioso sito, e poi ad Abington dove, sulla sua estesa piattaforma madreporica, svetta un vecchio faro a traliccio impiantato dagli inglesi a metà del 1900 per segnalare alle navi di passaggio la presenza di questo pericoloso atollo corallino posto sulla rotta di navigazione. Prima di rientrare a Port Sudan, si sosterà a Sha’ab Suedi dove giaceva il relitto del Blue Belt. Sparse sul fondale si trovano automobili che caratterizzavano il carico di questa nave, ormai ricoperte di coralli, dove stazionano pesci palla istrice, nudibranchi e grandi murene.<br><br> Questo sorprendente itinerario nel regno dei grandi pelagici, che comprende il classico e l’estremo Nord, è consigliato come itinerario One way, ossia con imbarco a Port Sudan e sbarco a Mohammad Qol (o viceversa), compiendo dunque una tratta in barca ed una via terra con pulmino. </span></p></div>

All’interno del Wingate Reef a 30 minuti circa di navigazione dal porto, giace il relitto dell’Umbria, una nave italiana autoaffondatasi il 10 Giugno 1940. Lungo 155 metri, il relitto è perfettamente conservato e, all’interno delle sue stive, oltre a grosse quantità di materiale bellico, da bombe a munizioni, si trovano ancora materiali vari tra cui 3 esemplari, perfettamente visibili, di Fiat 1100 L. Il tutto era destinato al contingente italiano in Eritrea.<br><br> Procedendo verso nord, si raggiunge il faro di Sanganeb, il più alto del Mar Rosso, dal quale si può ammirare a 360° il meraviglioso panorama di tutto il suo vasto reef.. Qui il fantastico pianoro di punta Sud è teatro abituale di gruppi di squali grigi, squali martello, nuvole di barracuda e carangidi. Sulla spettacolare punta Nord spesso banchi di squali martello si materializzano dal blu.<br><br> La tappa successiva è Sha’ab Rumi, descritto da Cousteau come uno dei luoghi più belli del pianeta mare. Noi amiamo definirlo un luogo dove la realtà supera l’immaginazione...<br><br> Sulla punta Sud una piattaforma corallina si protende nel blu; qui si possono avvicinare barracuda, carangidi, squali grigi, albimarginatus, ed i tanto sognati squali martello. All’entrata della passe di Sha’ab Rumi nel 1964 Cousteau fissò il suo laboratorio sommerso Precontinente II dove, insieme al suo staff, studiò e dimostrò come l’uomo poteva sopravvivere in un ambiente diverso dal suo. Ancora oggi, completamente inglobati dai coralli e mimetizzati alla perfezione con il paesaggio marino, si possono scorgere i resti delle strutture utilizzate.<br><br> 18 miglia a nord, a Sha’ab Suedi, giaceva il gigantesco relitto del Blue Belt, un cargo da trasporto affondato il 1 Dicembre 1977, prima visibile perché capovolto sul reef, ora a causa di movimenti sismici sprofondato a 60 metri. In ricordo del suo passaggio sono visibili i resti delle automobili e pickup Toyota disseminati sul pianoro a 18 metri circa. Questa immersione prosegue per la passe dove enormi coralli a tavola e incantevoli formazioni coralline piramidali hanno ispirato la famosa fotografa Leni Riefenstahl nel suo libro “Giardini di Corallo”.<br><br> Questo itinerario è l'Ideale per chi si reca in Sudan per la prima volta e non solo, per godere al meglio i siti di immersione più belli e fra i più famosi al mondo. E' davvero sempre affascinante. </span></p></div>

You'll be able to swim alongside them and admire them in all their elegance—an unforgettable thrill!</p><p>To make the most of this itinerary and avoid one of the two long transfers, embarkation can take place either at Port Sudan or to the north, at Mohamend Qol, with one of the two legs covered by private minibus.</p><p><br></p><p>The itinerary is the same as the "Extreme North," but includes a longer stop at Mersharifa Island in search of the mantas, thus combining both the Classic and the Extreme North dives. At Angarosh you'll enjoy a splendid dive among corals and soft corals in a variety of colours, with walls entirely covered in anemones and the presence of groups of hammerhead and grey sharks—and, for the luckiest, an encounter with the tiger shark.</p><p><br></p><p>You then continue on to Merlo Reef, another marvellous site featuring a long wall that offers numerous crevices and fissures teeming with life, along with a canyon leading to a pinnacle that rises from 25 metres to the surface. From here, looking out into the blue, you have the chance to admire many shark species—hammerheads and greys among them—swimming in the current.</p><p><br></p><p>At Abinton, an old lattice-framed lighthouse towers over its broad platform, and here too you may encounter large pelagics. Quita El Banna, shaped like a great domed loaf, plunges into the blue amid the pelagics with its wonderful madreporic walls rich in colour and caves; possible encounters here include hammerheads, thresher sharks, and mantas!</p><p><br></p><p>This is an itinerary for those who want to make the most of their holiday time without having to undertake long crossings, and for anyone wishing to discover the elegance of Sudan's manta rays—their black-and-white wings slicing through the sea's surface will be an indelible image of your journey.</p></div>

Questa spettacolare immersione e' caratterizzata da una gigantesca parete piena di grotte e anfratti, ideale per gli amanti della fotografia, in quanto offre contrasti di luce davvero suggestivi. Questo punto, completamente in mezzo al mare, dà l'opportunità di ammirare numerosi gruppi di squali martello che sfilano eleganti nel blu, nonché nuvole di barracuda e squali seta che nuotano in superficie.<br><br> Altra tappa del nostro giro a Sud sarà Sha'ab Ambar, enorme laguna lunga 11 miglia, dove ci si immergerà nei versanti Sud e Nord, dalla morfologia molto particolare e ricchissimi di vita. Proseguendo si giungerà al Pinnacolo, torrione madreporico che si erge dal profondo sfiorando la superficie; qui si ammirerà una quantità infinita di pesci ed alcionari multicolori. Poi, ovviamente, come in tutte le immersioni del Sudan, ci sarà sempre la possibilità di incontrare grandi branchi di squali martello! Aspetto determinante sarà la presenza di corrente che avvicina gli squali al reef. Di ritorno da questa intensa full immersion, l'ultima tappa sarà Wingate Reef, famoso per l'imponente relitto dell'Umbria.<br><br> Perfetto connubio tra i famosi siti dell’itinerario “The best of” ed alcuni del Sud, questo itinerario è dedicato a chi ama cose nuove ed originali, ed offre la possibilità di immersioni in luoghi di straordinaria bellezza riservati a pochi. </span></p></div>
