Red Sea Live-aboard
During our recent club trip to Egypt we had the opportunity to
visit the Brother Islands by live aboard, which is approximately
an eight hour boat ride from Hurghada. Whilst there we did seven
dives, during which we had the pleasure of seeing Oceanic White
Tips, Black Tip Reef Sharks, Grey Reef Sharks, Silky Sharks, and
Hammer Head Sharks in addition to all the other usual marine
life.
We are now planning to do a five day live
aboard to Egypt and Red Sea next year, and we
expecting that demand, will high as lots of our
members have already expressed an interest in
taking part
