Pictures From The Deep!
 

Okay, as I'm sure you all know (through my boasting), I spent the last week in Egypt's Red Sea. It was great. Unlike any other holiday.


-We lived on a boat the entire week.
-We did Four Scuba Dives a Day.
-I only knew about 5 of the people on there to begin with
-All of our meals were home made Egyptian meals
-The Wildlife and visibility under the water were stunning.

Me and my Dad took a camera each under the water and used up about 4 films, as well as a digital camera for the surface. Our underwaters haven't been developed yet but I'll post a few of the surface ones now. The Underwaters will be ready soon!

Cool stuff...

I'm seriously thinking of taking lessons - my GF has her Advanced Open water and i'd love to try it...

Yeh, I'm junior advanced open water. As soon as I hit 15 I immediately lose the junior. It's great, like nothing else in the world, being able to explose this unique, almost alien like world.


Oh, and the pictures will be up soon, Photobucket is being a bitch.

Here are some Surface Pics.

The First reef we came to on a small sand island.

Some Dolphins rode the wave being made by the boat as we traveled to our next location.

My in the evening in Hurghada.

This was our last day. We spent the night before on the moored up boat, then in the morning we moved all of our stuff to the marriot hotel where we had two rooms between us. This is just a few of the divers and I eating lunch by the pool.

On the boat they had some merchandise such as T-Shirts and Dive Log Books. I got a T-shirt, which was personallised. Here's the sleeve.

WOW!!!I'm glad you had a good time:)Good to have you back!

Haha the pictures are great!And I love the shirt!

I really like the dolphin pic!When we went to the beach we took a cruise and dolphins were swimming along beside us.I have a pic that is just like that..sort of.It was one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen.

Yeh, they are great. We saw them again when we were on our way back from a wreck to the boat.

Nice pics Ferret....but I've yet to see ONE from "the deep".

Patience old one. They will soon be developed!

Welcome back oh chucker of ferrets..... That one guy has some awesome fucking dreds...

Yeh, they were cool.

Whenever I looked at him when we were diving he looked like a lion fish.

Good GOD I am jealous. And those pictures are great, FC.

Cool stuff!

Aah...Egypt! Still it's one of my most desired place where I like to have a vacation at least once in a life:o .

It's really nice to see that you had some awesome times out there.

Welcome Back.:)

Am I that horrible at telling someone's age or do you constantly get mistaken for a ten year old, ferret?

Welcome back! I'm completely jealous of your holiday, and can't wait to see the underwater pics!

A bit of both.











































Usually they say eight...:( :( :(

I was gonna say six.


and when the hell are we gonna see the underwater pictures? I'm really interested in those.

Patience my friend. Patience.

What great pictures (so far...ahem, underwater pics ;) ), Ferret! That must have been an amazing trip! I love your shirt. :)

awww :(

.....

Well, the photos are in. Due to our cameras being quite old and mine not working too well under pressure "Do dodododo, do do do do dodododo", many aren't that clear, but there are a good few interesting ones. Such as

- A lionfish
- A clownfish playing in an anenome
- A blue spotted stingray
- A feathertail Stingray
- A Moray Eel
- Me next to a huge propellor

And more. I'll post them tonight when I get back in, (I'm going out in a minute).

Finally
 

Here they are people. Photos from my trip to the red sea taken underwater.

-Note: As some of you may know, colours fade the futher you go down, starting with red, so they may look a bit dull.


Lionfish:

There were lots of these guys on the night dives, almost to the point where you wanted them to move so you could see something new!

Flutefish:

There are quite a lot of these around. They follow divers as a way of hiding while they hunt. You never see your own flutefish, just everyone elses!

Me:

I'm standing on the Salem Express, a huge wreck!

Clownfish:

These guys always played in their anenomes!

I have to go now but I'll post more tomorrow.

Very cool pix!

those pictures are amazing! keep 'em coming! :D

Holy Crap!

Ferret - Those are AMAZING!

(and even underwater, you still look like you're 10 :p )

Awesome pics, FC!

The last picture there reminds me of Nemo's Daddy.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll post more in good time!

Why? Because it's a clownfish? :rolleyes:

well, it wouldnt have reminded him much of nemo's daddy if it was a dolphin now would it ? :)

Very nice Ferret. What a wonderful experience for you.

yeah, ferret. these are great.
i've always wanted to go scuba diving.
maybe someday.

at any rate, your pictures only make me want to scuba dive even more.

it's definately a life changing experience.

i can imagine that it could only be compared to walking on the moon ... only far more colourful and comfortable.

And not as cheesy







cause the moon's made of cheese
