So these beautiful shots are made in Dahab? Awsome...

What's the best diving spot in Egypt, in your opnion? I've heard a lot about Ras Mohamed.

Oh, and about how deep are these pictures taken?

hi,

personally my favourite diving spot is dahab. that's why i decided to live here in the first place. it's going to be my 6th year now, so it can't be that bad

ras mohammed is very nice to freedive as well (shore diving), warmer water and more corals and bigger fisheeez.

the manta pix were taken in 5-15m depth, the ones at the drop off at around 20m.

we were diving in the south that day. it swam along the beach between 15m and 5m. i followed it for about 15 minutes, passed a few groups of bubble divers (only one group actually saw it ) and then let it carry on.

it's been a bit of a project of mine for years to dive with a manta and now that i finally had the opportunity i want to do it again. that was an absolutely fascinating experience.

Wow, those manta rays photos are great! Good job and well earned it appears. So, that was/is a big question on my mind, whether Dahab is a good representation for the notoriety surrounding the Red Sea's incredible diversity and color of sea life?

After hearing about the Red Sea's diving, I had put it on my next place to stop for a trip. It looks like it will happen this coming fall. So, have you heard or experienced other areas of the Red Sea, and how do they compare?

Cheers,
