BLUE PARADISES – THE RED SEA – Ep01

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

The Red Sea, these three words resonate like a promise of wonder.
And it is obviously one of the 7 wonders of the underwater world.
The great explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau once said „We protect what we love“, and we love the Red Sea so much. Colorful coral reefs, immense pinnacles, caves and endemic species immerse you into an extraordinary universe.
in this magical atmosphere you will cross the path of the schools of Anthias, titan triggerfish, octopus, oceanic whitetips, clown fish, barracudas, parrot fish, turtles, soldier fish, reef sharks, eagle ray, crocodile fish, etc … to name just a few species among the thousands that abound in the Red Sea.
If you want to dive into this aquatic poem, let the rays of light guide you through atmospheric caves, from world-class wrecks to protected marine areas you will discover so many treasures.
The Red Sea will offer you legendary pelagic dives all along the east coast of Egypt.
If you are an underwater cameraman, photographer or just a diver looking for underwater beauties, We recommend these few places we explored : Marsa Shagra, Safaga, Elphinstone, Marsa Nakari, Dolphin House Reef, Hurghada, Dahab Sharm el Sheikh, Marsa Alam, etc, … Knowing that many others deserve a bunch of dives like Big Brother, Little Brother, Daedalus,
Sharbour,Torfa, Lahami South, Abu Galawa Small, Shaab Claudia, Banana Reef, Shaab Angel, Shaab Malahi, Abu Nuhas reef, Shark & Yolanda Reefs…and we are probably forgetting many others, knowing that you can also dive in the Red Sea from Jordan, Sudan, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia or Eritrea.
Keep your eyes wide open, relax and enjoy the magic of the Red Sea
For those who do not know the Red Sea, we hope that this video will make you want to dive there and for others to come back.
To conclude, one or two tips for our friends underwater filmmakers or photographers: focus on the magic hours for filming, 6 a.m. and 3 p.m./4 p.m. The light is strong and the visibility pretty good, so up to 20 meters deep you won’t really need a filter (if your white balance is properly adjusted). Beyond 20 meters, plan to take a red filter with you.

THE RED SEA is the first part of the triptych of subaquatic poems „Blue Paradises“

Where is the best scuba diving in the world ? We still don’t know,…so let’s keep diving and filming 🙂
New adventures are coming very soon and this is going to be quite a ride !!!!!

Equipment to start underwater video or photography is often expensive.
But if you want to get started, there is some really good quality equipment at affordable prices, below, we have selected 3 complete equipment that we have tested and that we recommend to you :

More or Less 500$

GoPro Hero9

Housing & Red Filter

Dome Port (double hand)

Memory card

Our recommendation for this product : Set your Gopro before diving (Format, recording speed, etc …), DO NOT USE the white balance in auto mode! Be careful high speeds like 120 fps or 240 fps eat a lot of light, if you dive deep it’s a bad idea. Otherwise it’s an all-terrain camera, no risk.

Between 500$ and 1000$

Olympus TG-6

Housing PT-059

Our recommendation for this product : Excellent product between 10 and 20 meters but has colorimetric limits beyond 20 meters. Easy handling to start filming underwater.
Will adapt perfectly to diving in the Red Sea for example.

More than 1000$

CANON 5D Mark IV

Housing Seafrogs

Lens RF 24-105mm (F4-7.1)

Our recommendation for this product : For the CANON : 30,4 Mpix, video in 4K, ISO Range up to 32000, …You can sleep on both ears. For the Housing Up to 40 meters deep. For both, rock solid equipment (CANON + Seafrogs), on the other hand for frequent travelers beware of the weight, the 5D MARK IV + the housing + Lens = 4 Kg
