Cousteau's Conshelf

Cousteau's Conshelf, the next name on the list of the best dive sites in Sudan, is one of Sudan's most well-known dive sites. In 1963, this was the site of Jacques Cousteau's Conshelf II experiment. The rest of the dome is still 9 meters deep just south of the reef's west passage. Only experienced wreck divers should explore the structure's confined spaces. A beautiful coral garden surrounds you, with plenty of soft corals and reef fish. Grey reef sharks, silky sharks, and silvertip sharks are among the shark species. This is one of the best places to see hammerhead sharks from November to April.

Divers can enter the submarine hangar, which is now mostly flooded and filled with small fish darting around the portholes. If you do decide to swim inside, make your way to the top-there is an air bubble trapped there that you can poke your head into! Once you do, the sound of other divers' bubbles and fish clicking is surprisingly loud.
