Sharm El Sheikh, 2001

My first trip to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt was also my first experience with underwater photography.  I undertook my PADI Advanced Open Water qualification and chose photography as one of my optional modules.  That meant that I was only able to take photographs on just one dive, but it was a start!

Dived a combination of boat, drift and shore dives at sites including:

  • House reef at Sheraton hotel
  • Shark and Yolanda reefs (of course!)
  • Thomas and Jackson reefs at Tiran
  • Thistlegorm wreck
  • Temple (night dive)
