Certification & difficulty
Advanced Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.
Snorkelling
Not a snorkel site - Not viable - isolated pinnacle in open water with strong current and dive action concentrated at depth, no sheltered shallow area
Safety notes
Strong/unpredictable currents, deep profile with decompression risk, remote exposed site with limited shelter and slow emergency response; broader access hazard - Sudan's ongoing civil war (since April 2023) and 2025 drone strikes on Port Sudan have disrupted or halted most liveaboard operations, confirm current operator status before booking (VERIFY)
Permits & fees
Sudan tourist visa required for all visitors; marine conservation/park fees are typically bundled into liveaboard trip cost by the operator - no independent per-dive permit fee documented
Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
