Red Sea June 2005

Fantastic Dives Fantastic Boat Fantastic Friends Fantastic Fun It is difficult to describe Red Sea diving without going overboard (excuse the pun). It is truly superb and up there with the best dive locations in the world. This is especially true when you are on a luxury liveaboard with a great group of (30) friends, as this trip was. The schedule we set was very grueling in that we did the Northern wrecks for a few days and then sailed overnight (12 hours) to get to the Brothers, before cruising back past Salem Express and many other reefs and wrecks. Four dives a day was the plan !! It was very enjoyable but perhaps a bit too ambitious !! The pictures below are just a fraction of the pictures taken. Sam alone took 1600 plus a load of movie clips!! First off a few of the people involved on the trip. I have taken out the embarrassing ones from the last night's party as that would be just a bit too cruel to the guilty parties
