Absolutely it figures into my decision. And that's why this upcoming trip, my second time to the Red Sea, I am going diving on FROM land again. I read about the safety record of Red Sea liveaboards. I love to dive, but I don't need to dive 5 times a day at 67. I am a lawyer, and I always think cautiously. I've never done a liveaboard, and I'm doing my first this January when I travel to Raja Ampat to dive on the Velocean with my local dive shop. Perhaps I will do a Red Sea liveaboard at a later date, but you can sure bet I will check out the specs very carefully.

Fixed it for ya!

Hey, thanks! That is,one major typo, and considering I'm a lawyer who went to school to learn how to use words, that is very poor. Note to self- not good to respond late at night. But diving on land would be very safe from sharks and fire, lol!

Nah, although one can see dozens of sharks in the maldives, however sleek and beautiful, you can generalize them as "coward sharks"- they do keep a distance and scare away from bubbles.

Diving with a group of Longimanusses in Egypt is a different story- these dudes are anything but cowards. They like it close and personal, they bump into you, rub against you and keep constantly checking you out- from a safe distance of a few inches...

At times you can be surrounded by several curious oceanic white tips, and I do not think there are many shark dives as exhilarating and frightening at the same time as Egypt's oceanics.

Unforgettable, remarkable, amazing.

I haven’t seen Oceanic Whitetip Shark (Longimanus Carcharhinus) anywhere else but in Elphinestone.



But diving with Tiger Sharks in Tiger Beach, Bahamas, beats all Shark diving adventures.

Elphinstone indeed.

I wasn't at Bahamas, is it one of these places where they have feeding shows?
