    Back from a wonderful week of diving at redsea north route on Blue Force 2. We had some amazind dives specially one with a pod of dolphins that played with us for more than 10 minutes. I will never forget that.

    i was with macro set but this dolphin was loving my camera

    It's good to hear from you again and to see your great images from Abu Dabab. CJ and remember well our last meeting with you at Elphinstone! Best wishes, Tim

     

    Hi Tim!! Was a total diferent experince from last time when we met at Elphistone. We had very bad luck with visibility. They had sand storms the week before and we had no more than 3 meters visibility even at Elphistone. Anyway it was greit to dive in warm waters at this time.

    I hope u and Cj are doing fine. Regards. Cipri

    Just arrived from Marsa Alam. Bud luck with the visibility made us dive a couples of times this wonderful shore dive. Plenty of turtles as usual…

    Congrats on a great trip. I'm always loving wonderful manta images, nicely done! How did you like the boat?

     

    Cheers,

    Steve

     

     

    Hi Steve.

    The boat was the Maldiviam Dream. Its a spanish operator ( but i think they cater frenchs and germans too). Great boat, comfortable and with amazing dive guides with more than 11 years there.

    Thanks for your coments.

    Regards

    All the wide angle ones were, yes. I use the Zen 100mm dome for the 10-17 Tokina (DP-100-NT) and an extension ring 20 (plus the zoom gear for the Tokina and teleconverter.

     

    I was running a trip at Shark's Bay through Oonas Divers, 3 days mini-safari liveaboard to Abu Nuhas and Thisltegorm and then 4 days land based to Ras Mohammed and Tiran Straights.

     

     

    Great shots Alex. Amazing light.

    Could you tell me how is the situation in Sharm right now? Im leaving in a couple of weeks to Shark bay (umbi village) and would like to know how is the diving now :-), crowdy?

    Very nice photos, thanks for posting them. You got some wonderful blue and turquoise water colors in those manta photos, too. My manta photos from Hanifaru tended to have very light turquoise colored water. Did you use a small aperture to intensify the color?

     

    -Gina

     

    Thanks Gina.

    I did use small apertures in order to get the sun into the frame.

    Light was dificult to manage but the show was amazing.

    Regards.
