Plongée à Suakin Archipelago — Sudan
The Suakin Archipelago lies near the ruined Ottoman port city of Suakin, one of the most atmospheric ghost towns in the world. Underwater, the reefs are virtually untouched by tourism, with walls plunging into blue water where hammerheads school at depth and dugongs graze in the shallows. Expedition-level logistics required.
