Where were you? Decades ago I snorkelled the reefs between Port Sudan and Suakin. They were the best I've ever seen and no one else around.

We sailed all the way down from southern Egypt. It was on a liveaboard, Nearly all the dives were out on open sea.
Including Jacques Cousteau's Precontinent II underwater stations at Shaab Rumi, close to Port Sudan.
We spent most time around the small inhabited islands down south, not far from Eritrea.
It's still pretty much pristine everywhere, due to the sad state of affairs in the country. A blessing of sorts.
