The Red Sea - It doesn't get any better (almost).Liveabord is the best way of going on a diving-trip (see pictures below)
Thursday the 19. of oktober me my buddy Palle Gram, and som other diving friends left for a 7 day Liveabordtrip to the Red Sea in Egypt. This time we went directly from the airport to the habour, and didn't get back until 7 days later. The trip was arraged by Fyns Dykker Center - good job :-) Four dives a day, makes you sleep very good at night. If you thought that you were going to party every night on the boat - forget it :-) There are just to many divers around Sharm El Sheik - so if there is a next time we will definatly take a "Deep South" trip, so we dont have to share the waters with so many divers. We had to visit Thistlegorm when we were there - offcourse. We had a nightdive on the wreck - wonderfull experience - especially because we had it all to ourselves.Here are the picture from the trip here in October 06:
If you have time, click the picture below and watch a little film about the English supply ship 'Thistlegorm' that was sunk by the Germans in the Red Sea. Palle Gram and I paid it a visit in February 2005 and returned home with this little film and loads of experiences. Thistlegorm – the wreck on Sha'ab Abu Nuhas. The English armed freighter Thistlegorm was bombed by the Germans on 6 October 1941, as she lay at anchor waiting to be allowed through the Suez Canal. The bomb came as a total surprise and the ship sank instantly, so she lies on the bottom perfectly preserved at a depth of only 14 to 34 metres. The Thistlegorm was built in England in 1940 and was used primarily as a freighter, but was also equipped with guns on the deck. The ship was on her way with supplies for the allied offensive against General Rommel in North Africa, when German planes dropped their load of bombs and sank her. The Thistelgorm is about 130 metres long, with a beam of 18 metres.
