tdpriest 115 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) In the early summer large schools of snappers, batfish, unicorn surgeon-fish, barracuda and trevallies swirl off the southern tip of Sinai, at Ras Mohammed. Nearby there are shallow reefs and a treasure-trove of World War II military paraphernalia in the wreckage of the SS Thistlegorm. Alex Mustard regularly runs an excellent workshop based aboard one of several large and comfortable live-aboard dive boats. This year he was joined by Alex Tattersall, demonstrating (certainly not forcing sales on us with his usual skill) new and exciting ideas from Nauticam. The winds died down, after blowing us away from the shoals of Abu Nuhas, and the diving began: Edited June 28, 2014 by tdpriest 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tdpriest 115 Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Great stuff Tim! Love the schooling pictures. From Shark and Yolanda? Adam Hoo, yes! Only the unicorn fish at first, the snappers were hiding offshore beyond Yolanda reef this week, although Alex assured us they were all off Shark reef last week...

tdpriest 115 Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Looks like a superb trip. Cheers, Steve Thanks to a great deal of hard work by Alex M, and Kat's fortitude modelling in unseasonably cool water. Kat (Katrine Felton) promotes marine conservation and models, well, superbly. Martyn Guess took a truly stunning image of Kat, modelling at Ras Katy, this week.

Interceptor121 704 Posted June 29, 2014 my cabin buddy Tim has been very quick to post and also had some great shots I did not take my video parts so I only put this clip together on the last dive on shark reef when visibility had dropped but should give an idea 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdpriest 115 Posted June 29, 2014 ... the last dive on shark reef... It sounds like the end of the world... ... is it the revenge of the snappers? Or a mermaid too many, miffed at too many photographers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex_Mustard 0 Posted June 30, 2014 Very nice collection, Tim. You seemed to do well with every subject we tried. I do like your room mate’s video - especially impressive as he was shooting stills all week and only did video on the final dive. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
