Join Freeflow Media for 7 days of mind blowing diving in The Red Sea – 30th September to 7th October 2022
Freeflow Media are taking one of the finest vessels in the region, to bring you underwater photo and video workshops in the stunning surroundings of the Southern Red Sea. Famed for it’s combination of reef life, large pelagics and wrecks, we hope to combine the best of all Red Sea diving into one trip, with the added edge of lessons on how to create your own photographic memories to show your family and friends!
Liane and Harry, two camera operators, will be on board running workshops for those who are willing to learn. They will also be filming the trip from beginning to end to put together a memory video for all of our guests to take home (Don’t worry, they won’t have a camera in your face for 7 days! Subtlety is a fine art that they firmly believe in!)

The Itinerary
- Day 1 – Visit dive sites local to your departure port for three dives (a check dive, practice zodiac dive and night dive) before heading out to the marine parks.
- Days 2-5 – We normally plan to spend a day at one of the Brothers Islands, Daedalus and the Elphinstone area. Normally you will have the opportunity to make three dives per day (night dives are not permitted in the marine parks).
- Day 6 – After a week of drop-offs, enjoy two relaxed morning dives local to your arrival port allowing you to cruise into harbour in the early afternoon. Take advantage of an evening onshore to purchase souvenirs and enjoy Egypt’s famous hospitality before either journeying home or joining the clean-up dive the next day.
- Day 7 – HEPCA clean-up dive and talk on their local projects for those who want to.
