It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
As a scuba diver, there was no way that I could have visited Egypt and
not gone diving at
Ras
Mohammed. For some unknown reason, just the idea of scuba diving in the Red Sea
at a place, whose name translated into English is Head of Mohammed, was intriguing
and
instilled
a
sense
of
adventure. While on my way to the dive sites with Oonas
Dive Club from Sharm el-Sheihk (a great dive club by the way), I shot
this
video
to
give
you
an
idea
of
what
getting out there was like. These are all above water, however, the video below
is an excellent compilation of some spectacular clips captured in the waters
of
the Red Sea. I hesitated to post my video for two reasons; first is that
seeing
all
of the boats can be a bit disturbing,
and
the
second
and
main
reason
is because the video below is just so much cooler to look at.
This video, provided by Uwe Zapf, is an excellent compilation from Tudor Pearce
of some amazing dive footage taken from the Red Sea at the southern Egyptian
side and
Ras
Mohamed.
