Red Sea-Schooling fish safari July 2010

Hi all,

I'm putting together a photography specific liveaboard trip to the Northern Red Sea in July this year.

At this time of year, large schools are forming around Ras Mohamed, which should provide some fantastic opportunities! It is at about this time that the fish move from Fisherman’s bank (off Jackfish Alley) to Shark Reef, Ras Mohamed. It is also when the pelagic blacktip sharks can turn up to add a bit of extra excitement! We have chartered the boat MV Orchid, and are planning for a maximum of 10 people on board. As it is our charter, we will operate on a reactive itinerary, basically going where the action is!

Orchid is re-fitting, and should have camera rinse tanks and camera tables installed by this trip.

The dates are 4th-11th July, 6 nights on board, with the last night in a hotel. The trip is from and to Sharm el Sheikh, which is well served with flights from Europe and further afield.

The trip cost is £(UKP)750, excluding flights. This will include all accommodation, all food and drink (non alcoholic) on board the boat, transfers to and from the airport and all diving. I can also organize flights if people would like me to do so. For those of you in the Northern UK, flights ex Manchester are £399.

If you are interested, would like more information, or to book(!) please let me know at info@adamhanlon.com

Many thanks

Very interested - just have to look at rosters etc.

Cool-please let me know soonish-the response has been fantastic!

BTW-this trip is thankfully unaffected by the terrible fire that has damaged many of the boats.

Just came back from the RS in Nov where the temp was about 85º. In July, it should go up to 130º, bring lots of sunscreen.

Orchid was my first liveaboard about 6 years ago, brings back some good memories. Email on it's way
