Red Sea, Sharm-El-Sheikh, Egypt: pictures from the ultimate diving destination

Last week I returned from Sharm Em Sheikh, Egypt, having spent an amazing week in the sun while frequently diving in the Red Sea.

At present, I’m still trying to find a way to post my most unique/ memorable diving pictures in full-size, without finding them all over the internet a few weeks later. While I’m still looking into ways to prevent that, here are some first shots to give you an impression – thumbnail pictures from my perfect week in the Egyptian sun:

However, a female diver in our group did spent some quality time with an Egyptian and enjoyed the experience.  I obviously wish I could have had a real conversation with an Egyptian.  Anyway, have fun in Mars Alam."]
