Red Sea Liveaboard Gopro13 (Nov 2024)

[Nando Diver]

Recently made a liveaboard at Red Sea starting from Hurgada.

The original planed route was to made the Famous Five: the SS Thistlegorm, Brother islands, Abu Nuhas, Ras Mohamed, Salem express.

 

Unfortunately due the weather conditions we had to skip the Salem express, Rosalie Moller and Brother islands.

We left hurgada on 22th November and soon after the Hurgada Port was closed due very adverse weather conditions.

 

We sail north to Strait of aqaba were we stay protected from the bad weather and we are able to dive at Poseidon Reef, Dunraven wreck, shark & Yolanda Reef, Thomas Reef, Gordon Reef, Jackson Reef and Anemone city.

 

Two days in our trip and we start to receive the sad news about the Sinking of the Sea Story.

This diving yatchs/boats operating at Red Sea have a flat-bottom Hull and some of them are too tall, and any stronger winds will make the boats capsize.

Our Egyptian Captain & crew had maximum respect for the weather conditions along with 30 years of experience sailing at Red Sea.

 

Our next diving spots was selected according to the possible weather conditions in the Strait of Gubal, Thistlegorm, Giannis wreck, shaab Abu nuhas, ss carnatik wreck , chrisoula k wreck and we return to hurgada to make diving at el mina.

 

Overall the best part of the liveabord is when we stay underwater, on the surface the weather and some cold nights stops us from getting warm from one dive to another, something that im used to in my home country 😅.

One issue that i had in first dives that ruined some filming, its be bubbles getting trapped inside or outside of AOI lens.

Some places are so overcrowded with divers that i had to "hide" the camera from air bubbles 😂😂

 

For the first time at red sea im happy with the results obtained, there was lot of information to absorb during filming, and the diving planned briefing was not specifically for video or photography. Capture a few memories here and there.

 

Seen lots of diving groups kicking the fins like mad... 😂😂😂 

Here's a few more clips.
