The Odyssey, first launched in 2012, has large spaces on all its decks for more comfort and outdoor massage services--relaxation guaranteed! The vessel has 13 cabins that can accommodate 26 guests in all. The Odyssey takes trips to Sudan in March and April, and then to Egypt in the months that follow.
Dive Overview
Colorful and pristine reefs, uncrowded dive sites, unforgettable wrecks, healthy shark populations, and big schools of fish can be expected in Sudan. Sudan usually attracts more experienced divers who may have already dived the Red Sea and are looking for a similar but unique experience, as it provides a fresh perspective on the Red Sea's ecosystems. Djibouti is situated at the mouth of the Red Sea and is influenced by the Indian Ocean, inciting a phenomenon where, from October to January, there is an influx of whale sharks in addition to the presence of coral fishes, giant groupers, and pelagic fishes--all fed by the massive presence of oxygen and plankton afforded by Djibouti's geographical position. This destination is for divers and snorkelers and for those people who love whale sharks.
[See: Sudan Dive Travel Guide]
As one of the seven wonders of the underwater world, the Red Sea offers scuba divers some of theworld's most beautiful coral reefs, plentiful marine life, and highly diverse sites to dive.
Both the Northern and Southern Red Sea regions offer excellent diving; the former has amazing wrecks including the world-renowned Thistlegorm, where divers can see some of the world's coral gardens and dive with manta rays and various sharks (including whale sharks). You can also see these corals and sharks in the South, especially around the islands of Big Brother, Little Brother, Elphinstone, and Daedalus.

Sudan Itinerary
Souakin & Legends - 7 Nights
- This extremely varied circuit will delight shark, pelagic and coral lovers. Some sites in the Souhakin Archipelago are among the Sudanese sites where you can see the largest gatherings of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini).
- On this trip, the Oyssey first anchors on the large reef of Sanganeb, which is 1h30 boat ride from Port Sudan. We will then head for Shab Rumi, before heading straight south to Shaab Jum- na. This reef is part of the of the Souakin archipelago.
- We will continue south down to Shaab Ambar and Pinacollo. We can cross hammerhead (Sphyrna lewini), grey, silky (Carcharhinus falciformis) sharks. We will continue our journey south to Preserver which will be the furthest south point of the trip before starting our ascent northwards. We will finish our cruise by the mythical wreck of Umbria which is about twenty minutes from Port Sudan.
- Main Dive Sites
- Shaab Jumna - A large 400-metre long and 180-metre wide reef. There are also beautiful caves that open on the north face at 30 meters. This reef is one of the two reefs where you can see the largest Sudanese concentration of hammerhead sharks.
- Pinacollo - This reef is not on the map because it was recently discovered. This is a large coral pinnacle (150 meters long and only 20 meters wide), oriented nor- th-south. We can observe grey sharks, and closer to the surface, some white tips.
- On the west face, we can meet hammerhead sharks going up the current. The top of the reef is really untouched, the corals are intact and the fishes seem surprised to see divers passing by.
- Sanganeb - Sanganeb is 30 km north of Port Sudan (about 1h30 navigation). It is a huge reef (6 km long by 1.5 km wide), overhung by a lighthouse that stands guard over the magnificent turquoise lagoon. It is not uncommon to observe a school of long- billed dolphins while snorkeling.
- The lighthouse was built by the English in 1930. The keepers of the lighthouse will be happy to welcome us and will let us climb the 366 steps to allow us to enjoy a breathtaking view of the emerald lagoon, surrounded by the reef.
- Dives north and south of the reef are equally varied. Sanganeb is considered the only atoll in the Red Sea where coral reefs are best preserved and richest. Grey reef sharks are still there, both north and south.
- In the south, on the steep drop off falling to 700m, it is frequent to cross hammerhead and silky sharks. Climbing up the gently sloping plateau starting at 30m, you can watch the ballet of big-eyed jacks and blackfinned barracudas and, as with every dive, the grey reef sharks. Arriving in the 15m zone, you will have the pleasure to see multiple soft corals and multi-colored where evolve sweetlips, wrasses, groupers, anthias and others.
Deep South Expedition - 10/11/14 Nights
- The Deep South expedition will lead guests to discover the wild side of Sudan where there are untouched and unclassified sites. The most remote site, Dahrat Abib, is close to the Eritrean border. We will see a great variety of sharks gathered in large groups: hammerheads, silky, grey, tigers. Mantas, dolphins, turtles and all the Red Sea reef fish will also be there.
- As soon as guests arrive, the Odyssey will head to the mythical wreck of Umbria which is 20 minutes from port Sudan. The next day, we will head south/east towards the site of Jumna, which is the first reef of the Souakin archipelago. We can see our first hammerhead sharks along its vertiginous drop off (+500m.). Then well go to Shaab Ambar.
- We will take the road, due south, for a long crossing to the site Dahrat Abib, which is a few kilometers from the border of Eritrea. This region has some amazing surprises in store for divers, both in quantity and diversity of sharks.
- Main Dive Sites
- ABILI QAB MIYUM 2 - This Abili in the North/East of the island of QAB MIYUM shelters a resplendent southern plateau. The top of the plain is 6 meters deep, its 2nd step goes down from 25 to 35 meters and its last from 45 to 70 meters. On the east face is a school of hammerhead sharks as well as a huge school of barracudas accompanied by grey reef and silky sharks. On the last part of the plateau, benches of jacks, sweetlips and a huge bench of surgeon fish await you. We will finish our dive admiring the platier at 5 meters where you can find loads of reef fishes : angelfish, banner fish, puffer fish, etc.
- Dahrat Abid - After your back swing of the Zodiac, during the descent towards the 30/40 meters zone, you will be able to cross grey reef sharks and the silhouette of the first sharks hammersheads will begin to take shape in the blue until you can no longer count them! When going up along the wall, dont forget to lift your head to observe the passage of mantas rays. Then, in the 25 meters zone, schools of trevallies and baracudas await you in great numbers. Higher up, near the plains, all the reef fish and a school of giant sweetlips will be present.
- Umbria Shipwreck - The Umbria is recognized as one of the most beautiful wrecks in the world. This cargo ship is 155 metres long by 18 metres wide, carrying bombs and ammunition and was scuttled by its captain in 1940. The wreck lies on its side between 5 and 38 meters deep. The hull is richly covered with corals and shelters all the usual reef fauna. Its proximity to the surface will delight photographers thanks to the superb light that is present there.
- The visit of the inside of the wreck requires special attention so as not to get lost in the maze of corridors and rooms. What a pleasure to discover, from room to room, the remains of the cargo (hundreds of shells piled up, thousands of bullets, bottles of wine...) under the intrigued gaze of an angel fish and a school of fusiliers swallowed up in the hull.
