Hindi Gidir is a deep reef and wall system located off the coast of Sudan. The site features a reef top starting around 20 metres, which then drops away into a vertical wall extending beyond 50 metres. Divers should expect moderate currents that can strengthen unpredictably, requiring careful buoyancy control and ascent management. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres, with water temperatures between 26 and 30C. Due to the depth and current, this site is suitable only for advanced divers with prior deep and drift diving experience. Boat access is required to reach this offshore location, where divers may encounter various reef fish and invertebrates within the wall and cave systems.

Plan your descent for slack water or the early part of the flood, as current on the wall can accelerate with little warning and significantly complicates ascent management at these depths. An Advanced Open Water certification is the minimum requirement, and prior deep and drift diving experience is strongly advisable before attempting this site.
Access is by boat.
