Only at Omneia
11 Days: St. Johns–Elba Reef
Only at Omneia
What makes this special special
Get ready to explore an area that has remained untouched and has never before seen mass diving tourism. Technically speaking, located in the northern part of Sudan, on the border with Egypt, the area features three reefs that we call the Elba Region. Huge gorgonian fans line the edge of the plateau. It’s not uncommon to spot some large pelagic fish here, such as gray reef sharks and even hammerhead sharks. The eastern reef of the Elba Region will delight you with the Levanzo wreck. The wreck begins at a depth of 22 meters, is beautifully overgrown, and reaches a maximum depth of 65 meters.
