Liveaboard Northern Red Sea

Gee. Been on the MIA(missing in action) list again. But for very, very good reason. I've had just returned from a week of liveaboard in Northern Red Sea. Doing nothing really, apart from dive, eat, sleep (DES) for the whole week. This trip aims to satisfy my dive craving since I left the warm tropical waters. Having about 60 recreational dives under my Advance Open Water belt, I decided to give a try on my first liveaboard trip that cater to dive the reefs and wrecks of Northern Red Sea.
Of course not accustomed to live on a boat, motion sickness sets in(ahem-dizziness, vomiting, nauseous) ..... dramamine to the rescue. Not to mention associated nitrogen narcosis/bend along the way :-) . Well did 37meters in one of my dives in Red Sea, looking back on my log I did 43m in Sipadan before.

Red Sea corals are excellent, wrecks top notch (especially Thistlegorm and Carnatic), Ras Mohamed reef worth mentioning. One setback is that I don't get to see many pelagics, being unlucky I guess , as other group saw oceanic white tip & hammerhead sharks. As our dive guides put it, August is the best time to do Northern Red Sea if one wanted to see big pelagics. Well, well..... another trip planned?
