About Blue Belt Wreck
Blue Belt Wreck is Sudan's overturned Toyota cargo ship on a steep Red Sea slope, with the bow on the shallower reef and the rest of the wreck dropping away into deep water. Divers come for the wreck shape and the cargo scattered around it, plus the big-school fish action that builds around the structure. It is a liveaboard wreck dive that demands depth awareness, current sense, and disciplined planning for the section you actually choose to explore.
