Red Sea Snorkelling Photos

[TigerIssey]

Especially for Skifletch these are the photographs I took off the coast of Hurghada in September 2008.

They were taken (except the few of the dive site) on a throw away Kodak underwater camera purchased from the Kodak booth in Le Meridien Hotel in Makadi Bay, they were processed at the same booth. They gave me the pictures on CD aswell.

Hope you enjoy looking at the photos

Spetember 2008 off the coast of Hurghada, red sea is amazing but Ras Mohammed National park off tip of Sinai by Sharm el Sheik is much better.

Thanks Truck, The one that is the 8th picture down with a black fish in, nearly cost me my life. Got dragged in the current and could not get back to boat. Andrew had to dive in and rescue me.

Don't think its algae, think its the light hitting the sand, was taken by a student doctor snorkelling with me, he could surface dive and he dived down and got the pictures for me.

Well I am new to this, but maybe he needs to check the TDS levels of the RO water?

But I really wasn't sure, for an educated person with a degree I can't half be blond sometimes you know.
