Oh man... Thanks for the reminder! What a serene looking time. Look forward to sailing through the med for some of that.
 
Was there ever a better example of "a picture is worth a thousand words."

Great shots

Seriously nice Manta Ray Roland.

How big was it???

Haven't seen any Ray's that big out here yet!

Have a grea week, Golfinho!
 
I see your mission is finally acomplished. :)
Blue hole I presume by the swimmer in the background of one of the photos?
Now if you could only take a shot of that huge puffer fish hanging around... ;)
 
Awsome pictures!!! :)

Thanks for posting it. My week is still long. :)

Was it inside the or outside the blue hole?
How long did it stay?

MANUEL
 
I must definately get a new job, maybe one that allows me to do that! :)
As they say when your job starts to interfere with your diving, its time to get a new one. :)
It sucks having to sit in a office all day and longing for the weekend and now that winters creeping around the corner Ill have to go diving in bad vis aswell but I cant imagine the whole winter without a dive.
Ok I must stop now otherwise Im gonna go insane!!!!!!!!
 
you know michael, that manta wasn't in the blue hole, only puffer fish there ;)

...and thousands of snorkellers.

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 :hungover) 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.

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 :D

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.

dam i missed that :D
 
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,

Tyler
