Sweet Potato
21.8061°N 36.9789°E · reef
A dive site in Sudan’s Red Sea listed under the name “Sweet Potato” in this dataset; the name could not be independently confirmed.
Overview
This site could not be independently verified. No source found during research documents a Sudan Red Sea dive site named “Sweet Potato.” Potato grouper (Epinephelus tukula) aggregations are documented by multiple sources at Sha’ab Rumi’s South Plateau — it is possible this entry duplicates or mislabels that site rather than describing a distinct location, but that connection is not confirmed either. The previous description’s specific claim of “30+ resident potato groupers” at this exact coordinate has been removed since it could not be traced to any source.
Site Information

Marine Life
No site-specific marine life source was found for this coordinate. Potato grouper are documented in Sudan’s Red Sea (notably at Sha’ab Rumi South Plateau), but attributing them to this specific, unconfirmed site would not be supportable.
