Flexible itineraries
One of the big advantages of joining a dedicated photo itinerary is the flexibility! Depending on how the shots are going and how much divers are enjoying a site, you normally have the chance to repeat key dive sites - shoot the same subject in different light or go back in and try again those shots that were not quite picture perfect. You might not cover as many dive sites in a week but the chance to repeat sites means you can really hone shots you are proud of.
As individual trips can vary on their focus, please speak to your travel consultant for more specific info about the proposed highlights. Broadly speaking the South Red Sea photography itinerary follows a St John's itinerary.
All liveaboard itineraries are subject to various unpredictable changes including weather conditions and changes in local Government approval. Whilst our boat operators make every effort, we cannot guarantee diving at specific sites. In adverse weather conditions, the guides and captain of the boat will have the final decision about which dive sites to visit to ensure that the safety of guests, staff and boats is not compromised in any way.
Fury Shoal
Fury Shoal is a firm favourite with many photographers and dive guides alike. The reef systems rarely go past 25m in depth and there is just so much hard coral in pristine condition that the colours really pop. Marine life tends to be smaller stuff but you can also find white tips and turtles. Famous sites like Shaab Claude, Abu Galawa and Malahi are must do dives with not only star coral formations but also shallow cave systems. These are hugely atmospheric and with a well placed diver makes for a cracking image
St Johns
The joy of photography in St Johns is the diversity. You can start the morning on some of the drop off dive sites such as Habili Ali, Habili Jaffa or Gota Kebir. There are massive gorgonians, chances to see pelgaics and larger reef fish such as napoleons, groupers and barracuda. Excellent wide angle work. The move to the shallower sites in the afternoon such as Abu Basala and Dangerous. Here there are nudibranchs and plenty of clownfish... well who can resist them! And then as you head north you can enjoy St John's Caves.
