Gwilym's Adventure Blog

I have just finished a week on Blue Adventurer in the Red Sea (Egypt) on  Northern Wrecks and Reefs itinerary working for Wet and High Adventures Ltd who organised the trip We had 20 dives spread around some of the classic wreck such as Thistlegorm, Dunraven, Ghianis D, Kingston and The Barge as well as reefs such as Shark, Yolanda, Jackfish Alley and Umm Gamar. As always fantastic food and service from the guides (Abdu and Haitham) as well as the Captain and all of the crew. Big thanks to James in The Blue O Two office for sorting our flights after the Thomas Cook collapse. Thanks to Hazel and Crys for being good dive buddies

I have just returned into Port Ghalib after a great week at sea on Red Sea Adventurer on a Wet and High Adventures trip. This trip took us to St Johns and Fury Shoals as well as dives at Elphinstone. We saw Oceanic Whitetip Sharks, a Whale Shark, Dolphin, Turtles and all the usual Red Sea Fish. Thanks to the awesome guides, Elke and Tarek. There will be a video uploaded once I get home in a few days

Although there is diving scheduled for tomorrow I decided to make today my last day underwater so I could actually have a day off to have a snooze. Today's dive sites Miyaru Kandu (Vaavu) Medhu Kandu (Vaavu) Hathi Kolmu

Another good day in the water including snorkelling with a Whale Shark. Today's dive sites Maamigili Beyru (S. Ari) Sun Island Beyru (S. Ari) Alimatha (Vaavu)

Another good day diving with loads to see, sharks, fish, colourful coral and more Today's dive sites were Himandoo Rock (N. Ari) Moofushi Kandu (S. Ari) Rangali Maduvaru (S. Ari)

4 dives today and I will say no more and let the pictures talking, but an awesome night dive with Mantas. Today's dive sites Rasdhoo Madivaru (Rasdhoo) Hafsa Thila (N. Ari) Fish Head (N. Ari) Fesdu Lagoon (N. Ari)

  After a very long and boring journey from Gatwick to Dubai and onto Male, Lesley and I got onto Blue Voyager yesterday afternoon. Today we had 3 dives and saw Mantas, Grey Reef shark, White Tip Reef sharks and lots of fish. Water is 28-29 degrees and I am diving in shorts and rash vest. So far so good. Today's dive sites Lankan Reef (N. Male) Kuda Haa (N. Male) Rasdhoo Madivaro (Rasdhoo)

Well, I have now completed my last week with Blue O Two here in Egypt with a  Best of Brothers itinerary working with Luke, Will and Ahmed Hamed on Blue Fin . The first day at Gota Abu Ramada worked well before heading to The Brothers to dive Numidia, Aida and see some sharks. Although not as plentiful as previous trips I still saw a Thresher, a grey reef and an Oceanic Whitetip during the 3 days. The weather was very kind, warm and very little wind making for some relaxed diving. I was even able t dive the north plataeu of BB which is normally based by surf. We travelled back via Safaga with dives at Salem Express, Panorama and a new dive site for me called Abu Hashishi. Small Giftun finished the trip and I am now drying kit ready to return to the UK tomorrow. So after 3 months, 12 weeks at sea, 140+ dives (50 of these at The Brothers) and I have no idea how many guests I will be on a plane tomorrow heading back to the UK.
