Shaab Rumi Reef on Google Maps.
Shaab Rumi Reef (Sudan Red Sea), is famous in the history of international diving to has been the home of Precontinent II. The underwater life experiment of Jacques Yves Cousteau was made in 1963. In hyperbaric laboratories located at depths of -13 m, biologists, naturalists and doctors, lived for almost one month on the reef platform of Shaab Rumi. A circular coral reef that allowed the Cousteau ship to support and provide assistance to Precontinent II. In this coral ring from the calm waters, dozens of dolphins swimming in waters of Shaab Rumi, the perfect place to take refuge and reproduce. For the cruise ships sailing in the Sudan Red Sea, Shaab Rumi is a place to stop visiting the structures that remain of the Precontinent II underwater village and for the opportunity to swim and observe dozens of dolphins swimming quietly among divers. An unforgettable experience.
