this time of year october, the water is to warm. at the over 30 deg. the sharks have moved on. getting to and from to the liverboard can be diffcult to say thr least, tavel on from egypt to sudad is difficult.

Most exciting divelocation in RedSea. Only for the experienced. Most of dives between 35-55m.The place for sharklovers !!

The visibility was extremely disappointing and with the exception of a couple of excellent dives (Umbria, Sh'ab Rumi) the diving was good rather than great. By the end of the week nobody was bothering to do the night dives. Air Sudan is not an experience I ever want to repeat.

Thank you Emperor Divers for making our trip to Port Sudan such an enjoyable one. There was so much spectacular marine-life to see on all the sites, my logbook now reads like Debelius' Red Sea Guide. For me, the holiday included two of my top five 'all time best' dives (displacing lesser Red Sea & Scapa Flow ventures). First, we could not have had a better guide to show us the interior of The Umbria. Its state of preservation is truly amazing. Second, super-cool composure on Sha'ab Rumi - with a dozen grey & white tips swirling around our heads. I could have happily sat there, kneeling on the sand, and watched them for a full hour!
Sudan was the 6th trip I've made with Emperor. I recommend you to all my student divers as a thoroughly reputable organisation, well organised, with proper risk assessments, emergency plans, briefings and qualified guides onboard all boats.

| The Blue Belt came to rest upside down pointing up a steep slope. The Bows of the ship are at 21m and the stern at 83m with some scattered cargo - mainly jettisoned vehicles, even deeper.
The Bows tend to be the limit of this particular dive for most people. 20-25m allows the diver to inspect the upturned hull, gain a few glimpses of the foc’sle - from the outside and swim from jettisoned one vehicle to another as they litter the seabed. |

reviews for The Blue Belt: |
If you don't go to deep, it's an easy dive.But be careful. Inside the wreck is a lot of oil. To take a picture of the propeller you have to go to 78m!

Suitable for penetration with an experienced guide.Went in at 44m came out at 17m. Best wreck in RedSea. Diving around and further away from the wreck very good divesites

The blue belt (sometimes called the blue bell) is mainly the best wreck in the red sea but also a very dangerous wreck the ship has 2 under passes tha allow you to dive the other side however wreck penetration is very difficult

The blue bell is the best wreck in the in the red sea (apart from the salem express) looking at the toyotas that lie on the sea bed

| The Umbria is found almost exactly as she was on the day she settled onto the seabed - on her port side at Wingate Reef. At 38m, the Bows are the deepest part of the wreck and at the stern, the rudder rests on the sand at 30m. The shallowest part is next to the Bridge where the lifeboat davits just break the surface. Neither the ship nor her contents were ever salvaged. |

One of my favourite wrecks. If you are an experienced diver, you can swim through a small opening on the deck to see the huge engine. Great!

First dived with a guide. Second only with Buddy. Found it very easy wreckdive and after the Blue Bell best of RedSea.

Suitable wreck to dive all the way around the outside for any competant diver with good bouyancy skills. Penetration only by suitably qualified divers or in the company of a knowledgeable guide.
