Scuba Diving in Sharm El Sheikh Egypt

Pin It

I'm back after a fantastic scuba diving holiday in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
We did our PADI open water course last year and went back to the same hotel (Reef Oasis) to get some more diving in!
The sea seemed a bit colder this year and there seemed to be less fish around than prevoius years which was a shame but we still had a great time scuba diving and snorkeling.
I also tried out my new underwater camera, its a Panasonic Lumix DMC - TS3 It's quite good but i'll have to save up for the underwater camera case for my Canon D60 as i'm so used to using a manual camera and only being able to use an auto mode is frustrating!
I'm glad to say we didn't see any sharks while we were there, although i did get a fright from a 3ft Trigger fish who decided to chase me! I think I scared him away with my bright pink fins kicking franticly as I swam in the opposite direction ... he had big teeth!
I've put all of my underwater photos in to a slide show (audio visual presentation) that you can see on youtube here

And all my photos from around the hotel are on an audio visual presentation here

 

I thought i'd make these AV's from my un-edited holiday snaps instead of uploading the pictures one by one to the net as it's much quicker and easier for everyone to see.
I also have many pictures here that i'll be uploading to a stock library and my POD sites that are a better quality so keep watching, their will be lots more to see over the next few weeks!

I've had my brake now and have to go back and sort our house out, the builders are in replacing our kitchen and i have lot's of graphics work to do too, i'll need another holiday after all of this!
