Private Project

Underwater Wilderness: Sudan

Two dedicated divers, cameraman Zsolt Sásdi and nature photographer Dániel Selmeczi decided to visit one of the richest marine habitats on Earth: the coral reefs of the Western Red Sea Coast. On their journey, they come across abandoned shipwrecks and sharp-toothed sharks. At the favourite dive sites of the pioneers of diving, Hans Hass and Jacques-Yves Cousteau, they visit the most beautiful reefs of the Red Sea, and experience firsthand the infinite variety of the underwater wilderness.
