Matt: Spotting large carpets of reddish brown algal bloom aka Red Tide (large concentrations of a few species of blooming dinoflagellates which take on a red or brown color), confusing the algal bloom with dangerous shallow water above uncharted reefs and losing time with some pointless evasive manoeuvres.
DM Konni: Solo-diving repeatedly and photographing the colourful u/w world in the vicinity of the Renato Reef which was named after Renato Marchesan, an experienced Italian diver and u/w explorer in this remote part of the Red Sea.
