Antheas and diver

My first foray into underwater blipping. It's much harder than I imagined. Get as close as you can, mustn't touch the coral because you'll kill it, mustn't hold your breath, re-set exposure compensation to zero, set custom white balance, under expose by 1 stop, compose and snap it - all the while maintaining your buoyancy whilst drifting towards your subject. Something's got to give and it can't be your diving skills.
Anyway, you get some idea of what diving is like in the Red Sea. There are scenes like this everywhere you look. It's a privilege to dive there.
The diver is George our guide. He used to be a trader in the city and left to become a diving instructor about 10 years ago.
