Newly published by independent publisher Ultimate Sports, Dive Red Sea (RRP £20.00) combines the writing talents of authors Simon Rogerson and John McIntyre with wonderful images from award-winning photographers Alex Mustard, Charles Hood, Jane Morgan and JP Trenque together with high quality mapping and specially commissioned graphic illustrations of the region's most important shipwrecks.
London, England (PRWEB) April 3, 2007 -- Described by Jacques Cousteau as 'the corridor of marvels', the Red Sea is one of the world's best scuba diving locations and the number one destination for divers in Europe and the UK. Recent years have seen the discovery of new shipwrecks, reefs and animal gatherings. Now featured in Dive Red Sea - The Ultimate Guide, this richly illustrated 352-page soft backed book brings to life over 100 of the Red Sea's top dive locations and is without doubt the most comprehensive guide ever to scuba diving in the Red Sea.
Published by independent publisher Ultimate Sports, Dive Red Sea combines the writing talents of authors Simon Rogerson (Editor of UK's DIVE magazine) and John McIntyre with wonderful images from award-winning photographers Alex Mustard, Charles Hood, Jane Morgan and JP Trenque together with high quality mapping and specially commissioned graphic illustrations of the region's most important shipwrecks.
The authors take the reader on a guided site by site tour of classic dives and new discoveries throughout the Red Sea including newly discovered wreck dives in Egypt, extended sections on two of the world's greatest wreck dives, new dive sites in Jordan's Gulf of Aqaba, the discovery of whale shark aggregation in Djibouti and the first major account of Sudan's manta ray site - all eight nations with Red Sea coastlines are featured including Saudi Arabia's "forbidden zone".

Dive Red Sea also features special sections on the formation, history and natural history of the Red Sea, marine life identification, advice about photography and videography and getting the best from the Red Sea including how to stay safe in the water, even on the most demanding dives. Essential advice on travel, diving etiquette and local culture is all there along with details of marine conservation organisations and, for non-divers and non-diving days, land-based attractions such as Petra and Wadi Rum in Jordan and The Valley of the Kings and Mount Sinai and St Catherine's in Egypt.
Emmy award-winning underwater cameraman Michael Pitts said "Dive Red Sea is surely the 'must have' book to pack into the dive bag of anyone wanting to get the best out of diving the Red Sea. Readers will find a mountain of information and advice on matters as diverse as shipwreck history, fish identification, desert tours and travel practicalities. Every page is illustrated with first-rate photography. In addition to exploring the popular dive sites of Egypt the authors explore the wilder zones of this enigmatic sea in countries such as Sudan and Djibouti. This book represents a unique and rewarding journey."
