#Photogrammetry is a newer method of #documenting #heritage sites, it allows for a precise 3-D model to be made of nearly any site or object. I’ve been seeing a lot more applications & wanted to share more about “what is photogrammetry?” 👉 https://t.co/Nf4rSNkkDj #archaeology

Quit clowning around! 🤡🐟 Did you know that clown fish & anemones have a symbiotic relationship? That means both parties actively benefit from the other party. Anemones get a nice Cleaning service & clown fish have protection from currents & predators! #fish #reefs #marinelife

Deploying an SMB like a champion. It’s a skill that’s a bit difficult to master, but one of the more important skills if you’re diving from a boat or doing a drift dive. #scuba #iamssi #underwater #divingskills #scubadiving #saltlife

I usually try to keep my feed positive, but today’s lunch has got to be one of the most striking cases of expectations versus reality. @talabateg this restaurant sent me a boiled milk steak. 🤣

Some happy divers at the famous Thistlegorm. Sank in 1941 by the German Luftwaffe, this wreck is a maritime grave for the men who perished in the sinking and ranks as one of the world’s top shipwrecks to dive. Have you been on this wreck? #scuba #shipwrecks #history #travel

My favorite WRONG answer for a @PADI exam. 🙋🏼‍♀️🚫 Question: What’s the most important part of diving? Answer: Looking cool underwater. #scuba #underwaterphoto #scubadiving #redsea #saltlife

One of the many happy green sea turtles of the #RedSea. These little buddies always enhance a dive. The green sea #turtle is the largest hard-shelled sea turtle. They are unique among sea turtles in that they are herbivores, eating mostly seagrasses & algae. #animals #sealife

Diving into the vibrant depths of the Red Sea; where I find my underwater zen 🧘‍♀️. The serene silence, the colorful coral reefs, and the abundant marine life make it the ultimate escape. 🌊🐠. No turtle ever tried to talk politics with me. 🐢 #ScubaDiving #UnderwaterPhotography

“Go on and take the Money and RUN.” Taking an impulsive decision to escape Alexandria and head to the Red Sea. The place I feel peace and happiness— underwater. Let’s hope I make this flight 🤣 #scuba #marinelife #ocean #sea #corals
