Diving Highlights
The Northern Red Sea is one of the best photo destinations with undeniably vibrant reefs, a wide range of macro subjects and outstanding wide angle opportunities. Discover the schooling snapper, barracuda and bat fish at Yolanda's drop off. Dive the luscious coral gardens of Jackson or Thomas in Tiran. Multiple dives on sites really makes a difference. Hunt out some of those rarer sightings (did you know there is an ornate ghost pipe fish at Jackson?). Massive morays, stone fish, cardinals, nudibranch... Gubal, the Ulysses, Kingston wreck.. These are just some of the excellent sites for photographers. Then there are the wrecks too. The Thistlegorm, Giannis D and Carnatic are endlessly photogenic. Just jump in and enjoy. Our trips are scheduled for the maximum variety of subjects and when the conditions are optimum with long days and lots of light. The warm water and great viz just make the photography all the more satisfying. Careful attention is paid to the selection and timing of dive sites so you can really conquer specific aspects of your photography.
