Red Sea Secret Diving

Located in Port Sudan, Red Sea Secret Diving serves as a central hub for diving and watersports in Sudan. The centre provides access to some of the Red Sea's most distinctive underwater landscapes, ranging from historical wrecks to vibrant reef systems.

Whether you are looking for a day trip or a more immersive experience, the centre organises various diving formats. You can opt for island camps featuring barbecues and snorkeling, or join a yacht cruise to reach more remote locations in the Red Sea.

The centre is run by a team of qualified PADI instructors who manage a wide array of diving and watersports activities. All instruction is conducted in English, ensuring clear communication for international divers.

Beyond recreational diving, the team provides professional commercial diving services. This includes specialised work such as underwater welding, hull cleaning, and search and recovery operations.

Advanced and technical divers can undertake the Rescue Diver course, the Technical Course, or the A Safer Side Course. The centre also runs an Underwater Naturalist programme and a Skin Diving Course for those interested in surface-based marine observation.

The centre operates a fleet of five vessels to suit different diving styles. This includes yachts for longer cruises, a brigantine, a catamaran, and powerboats for day trips.

Specific vessels like the Blue Moon, the Firecracker, the Anna Maria, the Alexanrda, and the Cristobal are available for charters. The Romantic Lagoon 380 is also part of the fleet for those seeking dedicated boat hire.

A full range of rental equipment is available on-site for those not travelling with their own kit. This includes BCDs, regulators with gauges and octopuses, wetsuits, gloves, and hoods. For night diving, torches are available for hire.

Nitrox is available for divers looking to extend their bottom time, with Nitrox cylinders and Nitrox-compatible computers provided. The centre also stocks weights and weight belts, as well as console gauges and alternate air sources.

The reefs are home to a variety of larger species, including Southern stingrays, reef sharks (Carcharhinus), and white-tip reef sharks. You may also encounter dolphins (Delphinidae) and various species of jacks (Carangidae) patrolling the water column.

In the coral structures, you will find plenty of colourful life such as butterflyfish, parrotfish (Calotomus), and snapper (Lutjanus). Large groupers and Napoleon wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus) are also frequently observed near the reef.

Macro life and smaller residents include moray eels (Muraenidae), stonefish (Synanceia), and leaf scorpionfish. Divers should also look out for various species of sweetlips (Plectorhinchus) and lobster (Homaridae) tucked into the crevices.

Seasonal encounters include the opportunity to see whale sharks during their migration through the region.
