Young photographer standing on the railing of the ship while on the snorkeling trip in Sharm el Sheikh

This is a brave guy, standing on the railing of the small ship, getting some good video shots of the tourists. The setting is that of the tourist location of Sharm el Sheikh, located near the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula in Egypt, off the Red Sea. The place has a complicated history, since its strategic location meant that it was an Egyptian naval base in the 1950's, and was then conquered by the Israelis in the 1956 war, given back the next year, and then again conquered in the 1973 war, and handed back along with the rest of the Sinai peninsula as part of the Camp David Agreement of 1979. Over a period of time, the great weather, the sun, the excellent coral formations in the waters nearby (now as a part of the protected zone) all prove as a great tourist attraction. On the yacht, along with the tourists, there was also this guy who was the photographer and who would take videos (the idea being that we could take videos of the trip and buy such videos; and that is what was offered to us). For the purpose of taking such videos, this guy was even willing to stand on the edge of the ship to get a different overhead perspective.
