Red Sea Diving Trip

August 23, 1997 - September 4, 1997


Live-a-board on the MS Balena (used to be a Norwegian postal ship)


Starting point for the trip was Hurghada, Egypt. In addition to places in the Hurghada area, the first week we were going north up to the Street of Gubal and the second week south to Safaga.

Some of the dive sites we visited included Giftun Island, Shaab El Erg, Umm Usk, Abu Nuhas, Umm Qamar, Abu Ramada, Abu Hashish, Panorama Reef, Middle Reef, Shaab Sheer, Abu Kafan, and Ras Abu Soma.
