Oceanic White tip while diving in Sharm El Sheikh

During our 3rd dive on 27th August 2009, we encountered an oceanic white tip esccorted by pilot fish. Three of the group had cameras and some very nice close ups were taken as the shark showed as much interest in us as we did in him. Some of the best shots were taken by Gary Smith who as he said he would, turrned up again this week. Remember it was Gary who provided the awesome photos of the Manta's last week.

Diving in Sharm can always throw up the unexpected.





























The oceanic kept trying to avoid our bubbles but was still quite inquisitive.

Close up and personal.

It gave us plenty of opertunity of some close shots.

Still Manta Ray Bonanza diving in Sharm El Sheikh

It's been another awesome Summer here in Sharm El Sheikh.
We are still seeing Mantas on a regular basis.


Each week we have sightings. Once last week we had two drifting past together and another one drifting the oposite way.


We have had one with no markings what so ever on it's back and not much white on it's underside.

Many different shots with different markings although these photos are of the same one and was seen on August 17th 2009 when it gluided past the group. The group gave chase and the manta just stayed there for us to get some nice shots.

These photographs were taken by Gary Smith on his fourth visit this year. And he says he's coming back next week.

Alright for some I HEAR YOU SAY!!!!

Gary has been runner up for our diver of the month on each visit. We are sure he's trying hard to get the the top spot!
