away from the region of Port Sudan, where our cruise will departure and dives
take place. Sudan is one of the birth place of very ancient civilization and its mainly rural population is extremely welcoming and eager to meet with foreigners as they have been deprived for years of external contact, situation which is actually improving. Sudan is home to pristine diving destinations all part of the Red Sea, and numerous Red Sea addicted divers who have been diving Sharm el Sheikh, Hurghada and Dahab for years, came back delighted of the natural wonders of Sudan. For many of the veterans Red Sea divers, it was like diving the previous places in the late 70's early 80's before tourism "boomed" in Egypt. WorldLiveAboards.Com will take you on board the M.V. Black Baron from Port Sudan to the best and safest dive sites of the region, where water and coral reefs have rarely been disturbed by humans. We will get you to places where the pelagic life is so rich that it will be very difficult to find a match for the place! |
