Diving safari photos - Southern Red Sea

I’ve finally managed to sort through and make a selection of photos from a diving safari back in June 2007. The goal was to reach southern parts of the Red Sea. We flew to Hurghada airport and then took a ride to Marsa Alam. Sharky boat was waiting there to pick us up for a week of diving, eating and blissful idleness.

Water was quite rough at times and after few days the waves were making me sick. I don’t miss that feeling, but spectacular reefs made up for that! Underwater caverns of Shaab Claudia were especially amazing. Malahi was also worth waiting for. And on the last day we had a special treat. Our guide (and boat owner - Nasser) spotted a bunch of dolphins swimming nearby and brought us right in the middle of them. I must tell you, it really is breathtaking to be among 40 or so of these bastards, squeaking and playing around you at arm length. I wish I had a camera then

Yeah, it was a great trip. Enjoy the photos and I’ll post more from a December’s wreck safari soon.
