Red Sea Cancelled :(

As I write this I was due to be in the southern Red Sea looking for two sharks that have always been fairly elusive to me - Oceanic Whitetips and Hammerheads.   Well true to form they continue to be elusive!

I've always been a bit clumsy (some would argue very clumsy), but I think I have now set some kind of personal record in clumsiness.  As I was walking out of our front door last weekend I somehow managed to break the 4th and 5th metatarsal bones in my left foot.  Although I asked the doctor to 'strap me up' so that I could still go on the trip he looked at me sternly before instructing the nurse to encase my left leg in a fibreglass plaster.  Needless to say I wont be doing any more diving this year! :(

Well looking back it has been an incredible year with probably the best diving I have ever seen.  I'm currently beavering away in the editing studio working on a full length version of Circle of Life (you can see a preview here) in addition to a number of other projects that are rolling in, some of which are VERY interesting.  We're also in the process of planning next years filming which will mainly be in the UK, so time to get the drysuit serviced!  Thankfully the team at Emperor Divers allowed me to cancel my trip at short notice so I can rebook it and at least get some warm water diving in next year!  Phew! :)
