The Toyota Wreck (Blue Belt Wreck)

The Toyota Wreck (Blue Belt Wreck) is the next name on the list of the best dive sites in Sudan that Toplist would like to introduce to you. This cargo ship sank in 1977, carrying a cargo of cars, trucks, tractors, and spare parts, hence the name "automotive".

The Blue Belt is now upside down on a 30° slope, and you can enter it through a large opening in the hull at 36m and work your way up the inside to the bow. In any case, it is the cargo, not the ship, that distinguishes this dive site. You can see the trucks and cars being consumed by the sea as you walk around the edge of the wreckage site. Some resemble living, thriving reefs, with only a jutting tyre or sponge-encrusted steering wheel revealing their manufactured nature. A reef area to the north of the wreck has spectacular table coral formations. Mantas and Napoleon wrasses have been spotted here on occasion.
