Dugong

One of many pictures from yesterdays diving with the dugong in Marsa Abu Dabab. I had a friend with me that used an external flash in slave mode that I of course triggered when I took my pictures.

What do you think? Is it disturbing or not with the flash in the background?

I'm not sure... The flash does look blown out, but it is a very nice picture. Do you have any without the flash?

I want to see a Dugong!!!!

I think the flash is a bit overpowered, would be better if the flash was on the lowest setting and turned off to the side a little, that way you could see the outline of the diver

Here´s one without the extra flash

And another one...

You're a lucky guy Pedda.

I'm happy when I can spend a week a year doing liveaboard on MV...

Do you live in MV

By the way: the parasite on the back of the dugong is a remora? same as manta's?

I think I've been in the same spot last Sep (Um El Rour Port Galib) but the only dugong I've seen was a bit strange as you can see in the attached photo...
