Diving the Red Sea - Getaway Magazine

Cover and main feature article. Text and photographs: Lesley Rochat.

From the depths of the Red Sea's infamous Blue Hole to the top of Mount Sinai, and 3750 steps back down I exlpored Egypt for a cover feature article for Getaway magazine. I was part of a documentary film crew that journeyed to unusual dive and desert locations on Egypt's Sinai Peninsular.

"Transfixed, I felt the spirit of the ancient, biblical desert and could almost hear the hot wind whisper the secrets of the sands. At once I understood why pilgrims who reached the Sinai in centuries past declared it to be their nearest encounter with God."
