MANI
Protected Area
Sanganeb Atoll
Why dive here
With 55+ marine species recorded in the area - including pufferfish - MANI offers some of Port Sudan & Sanganeb's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 25-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Mani wreck sits in shallow water, a real bonus for divers who want to take their time exploring. At a maximum depth of just 10 metres, you can easily spend a whole dive nosing around its various sections. We’ve found the hull is well-colonised by anthias and damselfish, and if you peek into some of the darker crevices, you might spot a grumpy moray eel or a sleeping white-tip reef shark. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen to capture the light playing through the superstructure, or for anyone who enjoys a leisurely wreck exploration without the pressure of depth or strong currents.
