A short film about the Green Sea Turtles in Marsa Abu Dubab - Egypt

As is often the case, we, human beings, find paradise and then proceed to systematically change it in the name of entertainment. We chip away at perfect and pristine ecosystems until they become unrecognisable. Then we pave them over and look for new destinations. Well, we are very close now to having no where else to go. The world has shrunk under our prolific desire to breed, travel and conquer.

There are a few places left, where we can, given the opportunity, see nature in its true form and make great effort to leave it as we found it.

One such place is Marsa Abu Dabab and is one of the simple diving pleasures in life. A quiet and sheltered sandy bay that is home to a resident population of Green Turtles and the frequent Dugong.  It is one of my favourite dives in the Red Sea. Yet even this perfect little bay is not pristine, for it has endured the ravages of commercial development, herbicidal run-off, chemical and biological pollution.
