Scorpione of London
Eritrea and Egypt
.
To sail a high-performance superyacht along thousands of miles unknown to all of us, was an experience that could not be missed.
So I accepted the charge on board.

On the horizon, we could see many miles to go.
The strength of the wind increased intensely after the auspicious landfall in Tunisia.
Touring both directions of the Suez Canal was very interesting in all aspects.
Warm and soft breezes reigned during the stay in the Red Sea.
During the trip, at a personal request of the host and with the prior authorization of the authorities, I collected a large amount of underwater and aerial multimedia material.
Immersing yourself in one of the last unexplored territories in the world is amazing.
Clear and crystalline waters that host species of all kinds of colours and shapes, corals of several meters long...
A pure and powerful land that has been kept virgin by decades of the war it suffered.
Immense wreck and abandoned military equipment populate the depths in which the proliferation of life is overwhelming.
Spear fishing mornings brought to the table some delicious seafood meals.
Being immersed in the local culture and knowing the principles of Eritrea, has made me rethink my ideas.
Still in the Red Sea, formidable scuba diving time in Egypt was added to those carried out in Dahlak archipelago.
This adventure constitutes a very special memory, that somehow in the future I would like to repeat.
