Late availability, week live aboard trip 4-11 July

Red Sea Schooling fish safari 4-11 July 2010



I have some late availability for a week-long live aboard trip, concentrating on following the large schools that form around Ras Mohamed. The boat is Snapdragon-I have just spent two weeks on her, and she is excellent! The itinerary will be flexible, allowing the option of going where the action is! The boat will depart/return to Sharm el Sheikh, and the cost is £750. Please contact me for more details!

Schooling Fish Safari July 2010

I have three spaces left on a charter scheduled from the 4th-11th July from Sharm el Sheikh. The idea behind this safari is to catch up with the large aggregations of schooling fish off Fisherman's Shoal (near Jackfish Alley) and try and pick up some of the action with the Oceanic blacktip sharks that come in to harry these shoals. Saying all this, this charter is not running to any "conventional" itinerary. Unlike the major operators, we will go where the action is-we aren't tied in to any package tour like schedule, so where it is good-we'll be there!

We will be using MV Orchid, and are planning to only put 10 people on a boat that normally charters with 16-so there will be plenty of room! If you are interested, please get in touch soon!

Red Sea-Schooling fish safari

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.
