Coral finder: a new way to identify corals!

Coral Finder is a new tool to quickly identify corals, in practice it’s like a “pocket” version of  the famous “Corals of the worls” by J.E.N. Veron, but presented in a simple way and perfect to identify every coral.

The 7 kg of 3 books “Corals of the World” condensed into just 35 pages… they’re obviously two different products, but the Coral Finder is proposed more as an operational tool, directed not only to us hobbyists, but also for divers, since it is plastic and it’s possible also purchased as accessory even a magnifying glass suitable for use under water.

Immersioni in Mar Rosso, Marsa Alam: foto e video

Anche quest’anno siamo stati nel bellissimo Mar Rosso, ed ancora una volta a Marsa Alam, come avete potuto leggere dal Reportage sul Sol Y Mar Dar El Madina, dove grazie al magnifico diving Sea World e soprattutto alle due guide che ho avuto la fortuna ancora una volta di avere al mio fianco, Andrea Maffi e Roberto Piazza, ho fatto delle splendide immersioni.

Quest’anno poi accanto a me c’era la nuova Canon S90, oramai soppiantata dalla nuova S95 a dire il vero, con lo scafandro Canon e soprattutto con il flash esterno Sea&Sea Ys01, che devo dire ha fatto la differenza nella maggior parte delle foto.

Questo video è un sunto di tutte le foto più belle che ho fatto, a patto che fossero orizzontali, visto che per limitazioni del video, non ho potuto inserire foto verticali. Il video è stato preparato in alta definizione, quindi divertitevi a vederlo a tutto schermo… merita! Aspetto poi con ansia i vostri commenti che sono la molla che mi spinge a fare e condividere queste bellissime foto.

Sette foto sono state oggetto della mostra fotografica tenuta nella manifestazione OCEANO MARE:

Marsa Alam – House Reef – night diving – English Version

During our last holiday in Marsa Alam we also had the fortune to dive in the night straight from the dock of our resort, a place called House Reef.

It was my first night diving, and although the sea was very rough was an unforgettable experience to be repeated as soon as possible (I’m already waiting for the next trip to Egypt in fact)

We have to thank once again the structure of the diving SeaWorld and in this particular case we have to thank especially our guide Roberto Piazza that made us not only as a guide but there has been the godfather of this our first night dive, after a briefing longer than usual, with the appropriate equipment we went down loads of expectations!

Marsa Alam – Abu Dabbab – English Version

Abu Dabbab is probably the most beautiful bay of Marsa Alam, Red Sea, which has recently also become a protected natural park by the Egyptian government. So it is obligatory to pay a fee to visit this beautiful lagoon.

As you can see in the picture by satellite, which you can click to go to Google Maps, the lagoon is huge, with very fine sand. On the right stands the hotel complex Sol Y Mar Abu Dabbab. The Reef to visit are placed on two sides of the lagoon, both starting from the shore, the left reef is the most attractive (or at least so say the guides) and is probably the finest of Marsa Alam, from what I saw .
