Holy large pics batman!! Even my connection at work is choking on those things.

I'm jealous even without seeing the pics though, I'd love to go diving in the red sea.

visibility is incredible, most of my diving is in Belgium where you have 5m visibility if you are lucky, most of the time is just bottomscraping because you can't see a bloody thing

did not do any wrecks myself, brother has some very nice pics of WW2 wrecks he dived when he was working in Egypt as a diving guide

depth is mostly around 20m with some deeper diving (45m) on the Elpinstone reef

all pics are taken in the Red Sea with the exception of the big mantas


and the best thing is, I'm going back next month

Wow, amazing pictures!! How developed is Egypt's sea-tourism industry? If not, they should really get cracking on it!! See the pyramids and then go scuba diving
