No magnification btw, I staretd filming maybe 15 seconds after I saw them. The pod came out of nowhere and started circling us within a meter's distance. I could defintely see that the initial 3 were giving us a good eye over before the rest of the pod decided to swim by us. I've never been that close to a pelagic much less so many.
Neat footage! Glad you went there and where pleasantly surprised by what you found
Did you get to do any running around on land visiting the deserts like you planned?

Still staggers the mind to think of the work that went into those temples and pyramids, would have been amazing to see them when they where freshly finished.

Because he said he was going out to the western desert regions before he left and just wanted to know if he got there. Actually I've had enough of your constant, belittling ad-hominem attacks against me and you can go on ignore.

Don't worry Lilith, you're cool . People's imagination is their own problem.

Thanks! This was my first dive trip with it, but I really like my underwater camera (Olympus SP-350). I was surprised with its video quality and it has the capability for good still photos:
I'm still a rookie though ... half my pictures turned out crappy. I need to take a course.
That pic btw was a huge passenger ferry that sunk on a reef ... a couple hundred people died so it was creepy swimming through it
Nice vid and cool pics!
That definitely would have been a blast.
