The Red Sea Diving Resort
An Israeli Mossad operative launches a daring covert mission to smuggle thousands of Ethiopian refugees out of hostile Sudan, using a fake Red Sea diving resort as cover while evading relentless government forces and risking his own life.
“In the 1980s one partnership saved thousands of lives”
Synopsis
In 1980, in Sudan, East Africa, a team of Israeli Mossad agents devised a plan to rescue and transport thousands of Ethiopian Jews to Israel. To avoid detection by the vigilant and authoritarian local authorities, they created a cover operation in the form of a fake diving resort located along the Red Sea.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
