Why dive here
With 55+ marine species recorded in the area - including pufferfish - Gota Mesharifa offers some of Port Sudan & Sanganeb's richest diving. Water ranges 25-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Gota Mesharifa sits off the Sudanese coast, a solid option for divers seeking a quieter experience away from busier sites. We’ve found decent hard coral formations here, with small reef fish darting between them. Look closely and you’ll spot shore crabs scuttling over the rocks and the subtle yellow triplefin hiding amongst the polyps. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen on macro subjects.
