Angarosh Reef

Angarosh Reef is located in the northern part of the Sudanese Red Sea, relatively close to the border with Egypt. It is situated south of the famous Sanganeb Reef and is only accessible via liveaboard dive boats. This remote location in the Red Sea ensures the waters remain incredibly pristine and untouched.

Angarosh is globally renowned for frequent sightings of large schools of scalloped hammerhead sharks. Divers also frequently encounter oceanic whitetip sharks, tiger sharks, and massive manta rays in the blue waters surrounding the reef. These encounters usually occur in the deeper waters just off the steep slopes of the pinnacle.

The name "Angarosh" translates to "Mother of Sharks" in the local Arabic dialect. This name perfectly reflects the dive site's reputation as a gathering place for massive pelagic shark species. The strong currents that sweep the reef bring nutrients that attract these apex predators in large numbers.

No, Angarosh Reef is an advanced dive site strictly recommended for experienced scuba divers. The dive typically involves descending into deep, open blue water and dealing with very strong, unpredictable currents. Divers usually use a reef hook to secure themselves to the coral while watching for sharks in the current.
