Best of KONNI's DIVING 1995 - 2018

Looking back at more than 20 years of scuba diving in tropical seas as well as the Med, it is difficult to choose the best places and most amazing experiences. There are beautiful pictures in my mind from diving Sodwana Bay and Ponta d'Ouro, the Adriatic Sea and Malta, Comoros, Mauritius and Seychelles. Indeed, I will rely on my photos to remember highlights:
From the teaming fish life in the clear waters of the Northern Red Sea, the wreck of SS Thistlegorm off the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, via Maldives and Chagos to beautiful dive sites off Pulau Weh, Koh Lipe, Tioman and Sulawesi, as well as to an u/w wedding in Moalboal and relaxed dives off Siquijor and Apo island in the Philippines, to my very first OW dive at "Sodies" in South Africa.

July 2007 Abu Fendera

Diving off SY Kamu II
Submerging for an early morning dive and stumbling off Shab Abu Fendera upon the most beautiful coral reef of the Red Sea, so far, again being amazed by the huge amount of colourful reef fish as well as the great visibility in this part of the diving world.

May 2007 Northern Red Sea

Scuba diving the Northern Red Sea and finding great pleasure in exploring the stunning wrecks of MV “Rosalie Moeller” in a depth of 37 m and HMS “Thistlegorm” in a depth of 31 m (the latter was bombed in WWII and rediscovered by Jacques Cousteau in 1955), as well as visiting wonderful corals and teeming marine life in the well-preserved reefs of the Strait of Gubal (my favourite dive spots: Shab Abu Nuhas, Shab al-Erg, Umm Qamar).
