Fancy escaping the rain this weekend? Join world class photographer Martin Edge on an amazing trip to Djibouti with fantastic opportunities to photograph Whalesharks.

If your portfolio is lacking these beautiful creatures, then this is the trip for you.
Djibouti is one of the few destinations worldwide where face to face encounters can be guaranteed. This is what draws world class photographer Martin Edge. Join him for a unique trip with one of the most charismatic subjects you will find underwater. Grab your snorkel and get closer than ever to these beautiful creatures. On arrival in Djibouti you will be met by Scuba Travel’s representative and transferred to your liveaboard. You will be required to purchase a visa on arrival – this is currently 120 euro per person but is subject to change without notice. You will have a full briefing by your guides once everybody has arrived for the trip. Including in your trip are tee, coffee and water – soft drinks and alcohol are available and paid for on board. Your last night will be spent at the Kempinski hotel and you will be advised locally of the pick up time of your airport transfer.
