The Red Sea has long been one of the favoured dive locations for underwater photographers and with good reason. The variety of corals, fish, spectacular colour and water clarity are hard to beat. A lot has changed since my first visit in 1976 when there was no infrastructure and certainly no hotel beds or live aboards although the privation was forgotten as soon as you left the surface. Today diving is well established with numerous hotels to cater to all tastes and a fleet of live aboards to take you to the offshore and remote sites.

The northern Red Sea sites in the Gulf of Aquaba and Suez are perhaps the most popular and best known, but going a little further south also offers a tremendous variety of diving and perhaps fewer boats dependant on your location.

For 2010 we have one live aboard tour on offer at present. This will depart from Hurghada and then cross towards the famous wreck graveyard reef of Abu Nuhas at the southern end of the Gulf of Suez. After exploring the big name wrecks of the SS Carnatic, Giannis D and Krisoula K we will visit some of the other classic sites of this area of the Red Sea - Ras Mohammed with its spectacular walls, soft corals and pelagic fish action, Small Passage, Shag Rock and the wreck of the Kingston, the Alternatives etc. These areas all offer excellent photographic opportunities.

As with previous workshops the emphasis will be on informality and everyone is free to ask questions throughout the day. During the workshop there will be daily themed presentations and Mark will be on hand to help and advise on the best techniques and solutions whatever equipment you choose to use.
