Back from The Red Sea

[kar93]

I just got back from my 10 night stay in the Red Sea, I dont have any pics of the reefs uploaded yet because they still need organising and photoshopping. But here are a couple I took on the plane and on the boat. Sorry that some of the pictures of a bit out of line as it's a bit difficult when you are taking them rocking back and forth on a boat.

These are great Kar===and welcome back. The guys in the clubhouse missed you.
I posted on your other thread for pics--but I guess I found them
LOL

Thanks, I see TJ's thread split again so I have 30 pages of that to read through along with 100 other threads. That shipwreck was on top of a huge island of rock. We couldn't dive off that section though because our boat broke down and we ended up having to get toed by another boat to the next location but then they got it fixed. But the days I didn't take my underwater camera out with me, I saw the best stuff. First day there I thought no just leave the camera today I'll take it tomorrow and what d'ya know I saw a 5-6ft Moray. So I took my camera everyday after that, I think I have about 70+ pictures but not sure how they are going to turn out because I had to use my old one which uses film because instead of buying a new camera which has a underwater housing available I bought the one that was the best for me and in my price range.

looks like you can dive around it by the pictures. Did you bring anything back live with you

I think it is that strict that you can't even bring crabs back so I didn't want to to risk the £1000/$2000 fine. Was going to try fishing out there but one of the guys said if you're fishing and get caught then everybody on the boat gets arrested so I didn't want to risk being banged up abroad either :lol: But one of the crew on our boat had some shark line wrapped around a coke bottle with a huge hook and a metal weight, I imagine he was Barracuda fishing but he caught nothing. They never do.

Great pictures Kar. Hope you had a fun time on your trip.

 

[kar93]

Had a great time. How about you?

Looks like a fun trip. Cool pics

 

[Reeftanks6]

My trip was great. I will be getting the pictures up soon. But the hard thing is i took them wit a Disposal underwater camrea so i have to figure out how to get them on to Photobucket.

 

[kar93]

If you get them processed, I assume they have the service over there where they can put the photos onto a disc aswell?

 

[Reeftanks6]

ok yea. I will try to do that.

I was at Tiran Island, The last couple of times they took us out to Ras Mohammed but I hadn't been to Tiran Island before so this was new for me.

On its way. There were plenty to go around.

 

[kar93]

Unfortunately the underwater pics didn't come out very good at all there are very few that would even be considered RC acceptable. I will get those uploaded.
