Sweet Potato
Why dive here
With 55+ marine species recorded in the area - including pufferfish - Sweet Potato offers some of Port Sudan & Sanganeb's richest diving. Water ranges 25-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Sweet Potato offers a relaxed dive, a good spot for a second or third dip in the day. We’ve seen a decent collection of reef fish here, along with the occasional green turtle cruising past. It’s a comfortable dive, perfect for photographers looking for an easier shoot or for newer divers building confidence away from stronger currents.
