Day 1. After about 5 hours of driving from London on our way to snorkel with Brugd, we arrive from Heathrow Airport to the small, cozy fishing village of Penzance, Cornwall, which is located on the south coast of England. In addition to the unique Brugd, there are plenty of nice pubs here where most of the dishes on the menu are related to the sea. Here…
We felt quite tender, but no less expectant to meet whale sharks in Isla Mujeres. After about 24 hours of travel, we landed at Cancun airport on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.

We were often the only boat out here on the reef. A comfortable boat with good logistics for diving and we had handpicked…

You might ask why you go on a diving trip for UV photography in the Red Sea and imagine leaving the high summer heat in Sweden. Just for an even hotter Egypt, in the middle of the best summer vacation. But there is a good reason..
