Nuweiba Photo Workshop goes to an end..

This week here in Nuweiba passed really fast. We had 6 amazing days of diving with 15 to 17 dives. Water temperatures were at a comfortable 27-29C which allowed some of us to dive in shorts and T-Shirts or for me with a 0,5mm skin suit.

The group came up with some great shots as well in macro as in wide-angle. One of the advantages of Nuweiba is that you don’t have to share a dive site with other divers.

Ras Mamlach south of Nuweiba has beautiful soft corals and great drop-offs

The whole group arrived safely in Nuweiba at the Swisscare Hotel on Saturday morning. We didn’t lose much time and were in the water with Sarah and Daniel at 12 o’clock …some even earlier 🙂

A nice and quiet dive next to the pipeline to get used to the camera gear again and for others getting used to saltwater in general.

Yesterday we had to great dives at Maga’ana with lovely swim-throughs on the first dive. Wide angle heaven!

The second dive was more into macro.

Today we went to Sinkers. This is actually a buoy which was installed 25 years ago in 35 m of water with a chain of only 25m…hmmm

well it ended up becoming a great dive site 🙂

In general there are lovely angler fishes around…Frances, Papa Frances or Geraldine (commonly known as Pink ass), lots of mating octopi, huge ugly stonefish and lots more.

We’ll keep you updated

Here comes the new wallpaper for July. This little hawkfish just settled down for a couple of seconds on this green featherstar  when I passed by during one of my dives around Anilao last year. I tried different lightening techniques. This is the one I love best.

Hope you enjoy!
