Sanganeb is the Red Sea's only atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rising from deep water 25 km offshore of Port Sudan. Schooling hammerheads, grey reef sharks, and mantas patrol the walls where Jacques Cousteau once filmed. The Sudan Red Sea remains one of the last frontiers for serious divers willing to navigate logistical challenges.
