Sha'ab Suedi is renowned among liveaboard divers for the dramatic Blue Belt wreck, a 90-metre cargo ship that sank in 1974 and now lies on its starboard side at 5 to 40 metres creating one of the most impressive wreck dives in the Sudanese Red Sea. The wreck's massive hydraulic hatch, penetrable stern holds, and decades of coral encrustation make it a photographer's dream with huge groupers and batfish calling the structure home. Beyond the wreck, the South Point offers another premier scalloped hammerhead gathering spot with grey reef sharks and dogtooth tuna on the deep wall. The sheltered lagoon inside the fringing reef provides calm conditions for beginner divers and snorkellers with juvenile reef fish and coral communities. Sha'ab Suedi is located approximately 60 minutes by liveaboard from Port Sudan and features in most northern Sudan itineraries as a key stop combining wreck exploration with thrilling pelagic encounters.
