“A picture is worth a thousand words” they say. If it’s a movie, it’s even better 🙂
Nothing else to comment more than sharing this video of my diving trip fellow Peter Bucknell that captures the essence of the great experience on a liveaboard through the Red Sea. Thank you Peter for this nice present!

I just arrived from a trip in Egypt with several clients of Buceo Hispania Barcelona and the truth is that my mind is still there… what an amazing trip!
Together with Jose from Blue o Two España, the team of Buceo Hispania Barcelona organized a trip through the North of the Red Sea and the Strait of Tiran. 12 passionate people from Barcelona, friends and clients of Hispania (who now became all friends) joined some other people to create an amazing group of 19 divers!
The route brought us to several renowned reefs and wrecks of the North of the Red Sea. We were able to enjoy 20 dives with Nitrox during the 7 days on board of the M/V Samira. The dive spots we visited were the following:
- Poseidon Reef
- Giannis D (wreck)
- Chrisoula K (wreck)
- Dunraven (wreck)
- Sting Ray Station (day and night dive)
- Jackfish Alley
- Thomas Canyon
- Gordon Reef (day and night dive)
- Jackson Reef
- Shark & Yolanda Reef
- Thistlegorm (wreck with two day and one night dives)
- Siyul Kebir
- Shaab El Erg (two day dives and one night dives)
- The Mina (wreck)
We were able to enjoy the wonderful fauna of Egypt thanks to the spectacular visibility of the Red Sea, as well as the penetrations into emblematic wrecks of the area, such as the Thistlegorm. And even we got fantastic dive with wild dolphins!!
Wanna see some pictures of the trip? Enjoy the blue!!

I was lucky to be part of a diving trip at the Red Sea organized by Buceo Hispania Barcelona on board of M/Y Blue Melody, one of the vessels of the Blue o Two fleet based in Hurgada. It was my first time diving in the Red Sea and I was really surprised by the great visibility of it’s waters!
We did a route called “Simply the best“, and, although we did not have Tina Turner singing all day, I can say that “my heart was on fire” too during the whole trip. Great dive sites, amazing colleagues and a luxury boat where you can relax and enjoy the time between demanding dives.
We were lucky to visit these dive sites:
- Gota Abu Ramada (3 dives)
- Big Brother (2 dives)
- Little Brother (1 dive)
- Daedalus Reef (3 dives)
- Elphinstone (2 dives)
- Marsa Shona (1 dives)
- Little Brother (3 dives)

And a big thank you to Javi, Jose García, Jose Mesas, Maite, Nacho, Niko, Oscar and Vicente for their company and some of their footage I used to make this trailer. And to Jose Aguarod for his guidance!
