Sha'ab Rumi (Roman Reef) is a remote atoll ~50 km NE of Port Sudan and the location of Jacques Cousteau's Conshelf II saturation-diving experiment (1963) — the shark cage, fish corral, garage and tool shed remain on the seabed at 10–27 m, encrusted with coral. South Plateau is the headline dive: a sand-and-coral platform at 25 m where scalloped hammerhead schools cruise the incoming current Mar–Jun, with grey reef sharks year-round. Liveaboard-only out of Port Sudan; spring and autumn intershoulder give the calmest seas.
