    Hi there folks. :)
    Just to let you know that I am taking my family to Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt for two weeks Sunday 25 July. We went last year and had a excellent time so we thought we would go back this time staying at RAS UM SID To the north of namma bay which is one of the best dive sites in the world. The hotel where we are staying at does have a computer room running windows 98 so I may be able in the heat of the day to catch up on what you are doing. The daytime temperatures in sharm at this time of year are highs in the mid nineties and overnight lows of eighty. Whatever you are up to this summer have a great time and I look forward to catching up with you all on my return
    My warmest regards to you all

    Hi folks. :)
    I certainly will. The developer lost last years underwater digital photo"s which was a big blow as i had manged to take a photo of the unique Napoleon Wrasse which is a very difficult subject to take as you have to be in the water for quite a while for the wrasse to come up to you plus you are strictly not allowed to feed the fish which does not help. But if you are patient and go by your self you are normally rewarded by it"s presence and should you get very lucky a five meter manta ray will cross your path :) The downside to all of this are the sharks that are close buy so you always have to keep an eye out. But yes all being well i hope to get some good photo's :)

    Oh man, I envy you Nick. There's beautiful dive spots there I've heard about. I hear the water is crystal clear & it's like diving in an aquarium. Don't hold your breath & follow your smallest bubble. ;)
