Comments by Jacques de Selliers

During this North Cruise, I visited some of the nicest reefs of the Egyptian coast of the Red Sea, in this sequence:

• Shaab El Erg: quite plain.
• Umm Usk: pretty average.
• Shaab Abu Nuhas, with the Giannis D wreck.
• Gubal Bluff Point: beautiful!
• Danaba (or Shagg Rock): a superb aquarium - photos of a zebra shark Stegastoma fasciatum coming straight to me!
• The Thistlegorm wreck: impressive but far too crowded!
• Shaab Mahmad (or Fasma Mahmoudat): magnificent - photos of an especially photogenic porcupine fish.
• Ras Mohammad: would be great if it wasn't for the 20 boats roaring above out heads!
• Siyul Kebu: outstanding - photos of a grey frog fish or anglerfish Antennarius pictus and of a green turtle Chelonia mydas.
• Gotta Shaab: a magnificent coral garden.

I was on board of the Rossinante, a ship chartered by Diving Attitude. Everything fine, pleasant local staff, food and cabin OK. One complain though: we were allowed a maximum of three dives per day - so I could only log 16 dives in the week!
