Yes they leave from Port Soudan ( flight from Dubay )

 

[Searcaigh]

Airline to Port Sudan (PZU) is FlyDubai

Schedule from Dubai (DXB) is at 13:10 arrive PZU at 15:20 on the 28 March, the next flight is 4 days later and the flight before is on the 1st March

Return flight to DXB is on 4th April at 16:20 arriving into DXB at 20:35, next flight 4 days later.

Do these times work with the boat departure and return?

Dear Philippe, I understand your point about being early, even if we must say that our cruises for 2016 are already fully booked from mid April to mid June next year, some cruises are also booked for 2017 as we have guests booking in advance. If that is acceptable for you, we might keep 8 slots on the cruise and consider it therefore open for a South cruise until the first week of September and in the meantime, in case there are requests for the same slots and period we will contact you asking if you might speed up your decision. What do you think about it?We have something to ask you, though. There are at present flights both on Monday and on Friday from Dubai to Port Sudan since not long ago.Would it be ok for you even if we proposed the alternative dates 25th March to 1st April?That is a possibility we are considering and we need to know your opinion about it.Best WishesSara and Stefano

Now; you know just as much as me. departure from Dubay on Friday 25 March from dubai ( or monday 28 as a back up )

at that point are interested ( out of Scubaboar ) : my 2 buddies and me; a friend of one of my 2 buddies; one or 2 people from the french equivalent of scubaboadr ( plongeur.com ) A japanese girl with which we dived 2 years ago in Raja Ampat .

One week is optimistic for the Suakin area, if you want to get to the Dahrat's and Masamirit's plus a few other superlative spots. You can manage the North Suakins, Jumna Shoal, Hindi Gider etc. but those spots are normally not as nice as the North or far South inmo. I dived that area 15 years ago from the Don Questo and a few other boats. Always 14 days. Once a 19 day from Marsa Ghalib (then it was a petrol pump, nothing else) to Port Sudan. Good time to go. Bon Chance.

I did a one week Deep South mini safari - we went all the way down to Dahrat Abid the Southern most site 50km and the from the Eritrean border and worked our way up. It is not as relaxed as a two week cruise but can be done and they do cover a lot of the great sites... depending on weather conditions of course.

If only... just for fun, I looked up plane tickets. $9000 US! Only if I can hitch a ride for free on a plane would I get to go, but otherwise people who might be around Sudan from the US right now are going to have a great price on the boat itself because of a dip in the EU->$US exchange rate right now.
