Diving at the famous Thistlegorm wreck in the Red Sea (unavailable for purchase).

Unfortunately I did not use an underwater camera. However, all underwater images (of which all are unavailable for purchase) on this page have kindly been provided by Paul Oakes (visit his website at www.streamreel.co.uk).

Dolphins swimming dangerously close to our boat
Turtle. Although the underwater images are courtesy of Paul Oakes, each one reminds me of the fantastic sites that I saw myself. From memory, the two turtles that I found were both even larger than this fellow.
Using a rope as a guide to the Thistlegorm
Fancy a bath? The Thistlegorm is by far the most well maintained wreck in the Red Sea. One of the highlights were seeing the motorbikes which are stored in the very bottom cabin.
Leopard shark sleeping. This is amazingly similar to a site on one of my dives. We managed to swim to within 2 meters before our Leopard Shark woke up and swam away.
Elneghsh. Probably the most common fish in the Red Sea.
