Red Sea, Egypt

[ethanb]

This isn't strictly a dive trip, but I recently returned from a week in Egypt.  We spent three days in Dahab in the Sinai, diving in the Red Sea.  It's absolutely amazing there - one of most spectacular places I've dived.  The wall starts only yards offshore and goes from a few feet down to several hundred.  It's really a different experience - it's all shore diving and we accessed the sites via beat-up jeeps, with the gear in a trailer or sometimes piled on the floor in between our legs.  During our surface intervals, we'd have a snack at these beach-side restaurants and watch camels walk along the beach.  This was the first trip underwater for my new camera and I was thrilled with the improvement, though I forgot my flash defuser, so some of the shots are poorly lit.  I haven't had time to sort through all the photos yet, but I've got a random assortment of them online here: (dive photos start about halfway down)



Enjoy!
