Egypt & some UK Diving

Thought i'd post up some recent pics from a couple of trips.

Gallery 1 is from Hurghada in Egypt, Gallery 2 taken in the UK in the south at Babbbacombe.

Hi,

Nice pictures. I was wondering what kind of fish is on the first UK pictures?

The wreck at Hurghada looks really amazing. I would really like to visit some day. Even your UK photos look outstanding; I would have thought the UK would have a bit less wildlife than Egypt.

Hi, thank you. That is a Dog Fish.

Thanks - It's a stunning Wreck, one of my faves - Ghiannas D. The UK certainly isn't the Red Sea, but there's still stuff to keep me amused. Most divers who live here often overlook our waters, but some of my favourite dives sites are over here.

It's a dogfish? I thought it's a cat shark (Scyliorhinus canicula), but as i checked in the Wiki it seems its other name is lesser spotted dogfish. So maybe I call it cat shark but it's a dogfish as well... I wish I saw a living one, I found only two dead in the Adriatic...

I didn't realize that there were Cuttlefish in UK water.

Some very nice photos, especially in the Egypt set.

Were you using any lenses in the two sets of photos?

Cheers tightlines, the wreck shots were used with a 100 degs wide angle lens. The others were largely with the cameras native lens. I've just purchased a fish eye lens, so lookng forward to seeing what impact that has. Many thanks/
