Diving in Deep Southern Sudan - Videos

Hello guys and fans of sudan diving,

three years ago, I had the opportunity to spent a fortnight on the liveaboard DonQuesto, going south into the unspoilt area of the Southern suakin archipelago. One of the best diving tours I did in 22 years of scuba.
In 2008, I could return to these places and it was still marvellous!!!

I did two longer videos about these tours - and maybe you appreciate them:

Cheers!

Appreciated BTW, the whitetips are my favorite.

So do you prefer the southern Sudanese waters to the northern ones?

Hi,
yes, the southern reefs are truely incredible! According to the DonQuesto´s skipper, the northern ones have lost a lot of sharks in the last years, and I would rate him as being a reliable source. Still Shab rumi south and Sanganeb North in the central area are great as well! In the Northern suakin group, the "northern south" sotospeak, I love the Pinnacle and Keary Reef. But again, the deep south...wow!

Marcel, that is stunning! Good photography, good editing, great selection of music, storytelling... I've been a couple of times on Don Questo but not since 2003. Haven't made it the far south, only to the north suakins, but now I must go. I see that they still use reef scetches (Rumi) that a friend of mine did (Frerenc Orsi). Once again, fantastic!

Saw that you had a haboob also (sandstorm). I eperienced one in june 1999 on Sanganeb, with rain as well...
cheers
