SQSAC Red Sea Trip 2005

Waiting to Dive, sitting in the Sun, it was a cold wind, keeping warm was difficult.
November in The Red Sea is normally windy but warm....not this time

Looking down on the El Mina from the Shotline at the 6 metre stop
you can see Warren and Stevie at 30 metres, with other Divers on the hull, she lies on her Port side with a large hole in the Starboard Hull with access into the ship. lots of Anti Aircraft guns. and some live shells still on the wreck, a resident school of Lionfish live at the bow.
Looks like an unexploded Bomb is still lying off the Bow.

Laura on the Barge, this was a shallow dive on a reef under the Dive Boat where we moored for the night, it was excellent, I think everyone enjoyed it, lots of life on and around the old wreck some really big Morays, and we also saw Dolphins.
