Pfeiffer Reef

Probably one of the most well-known dive site of Sudan! This was the place for Jacques Cousteau's Conshelf II experiment in 1963. The rest of a dome is still at 9 m deep just south after the west passage of the reef.

NNE of Port-Sudan.

Sha'ab Rumi West is also known as Roman Reef, Sha'b Rumi West, The conshelf site, Precontinent 2.

Sha'ab Rumi West

A great dive site, much more interesting than the closer Conshelf site (only interesting because of the Cousteau's historic experiment and wonderful hard and soft corals).

Here you find everything! From the tiny sea slug to hammerhead sharks, jacks, tunas, etc.

I am amazed that 2-5 kt is a "moderate" current: this is absolutely impossible to do anything but drift! Actual currents are less, and you can stay on the reef.

I saw a tiger shark.

Extreme south of Sha'ab Rumi reef.
