As a PADI diving instructor and throughout my exposure to multiple dive sites and many students with different ideas and requests for dive sites, marine creatures and adventures I came to believe that we have not yet tapped one-third of the scuba diving beauty and resources that still exist in Egypt.
In a small city called Dahab located in South Sinai which hosts some of the most beautiful dive sites I have ever come across started an adventure Idea (An Expedition of the Mediterranean & the Red Sea) where I believe still many things to be discovered as throughout history and as known the sea always claims back what was once belonging to it (ex: Cleopatra City in Alexandria)…
Our goals for this expedition is to uncover the underwater beauty around the Egyptian coasts. We will be looking for Wrecks, Cave Systems, Shark spread in Egyptian waters & amazing coral life.
We will be documenting all our findings as we go using still picture & video as well hoping that we would be able to create a documentary at the end of the expedition to share with the world the beauty around the Egyptian coasts,
Our major issue at the moment that this is an Individually financed expedition therefore we are looking for sponsors for the expedition, Data gathering is not as easy as it sounds neither, we are trying to work with the Egyptian coast guards to be able to acquire mapped areas and possible hazards. Last but not least trying to acquire the proper permits from the government always proven to be a time-consuming issue…
