Earlier this year the Production Editor of Arabian Wildlife, Peter

Vine, joined a diving vessel in order to explore the Southern

Red Sea as part of a recce for future film-making with producer

Michael McKinnon and cameraman Peter Scoones. Ably guided by Alex

and Tamara Double, whose knowledge of dive sites in the Red Sea

is second to none, the trip turned out to be a true eye-opener,

revealing the incredible richness and diversity of the southern

Red Sea. During dives off Yemen, a new species of giant nudibranch

was re-discovered and measurements were taken.
