A few more, these are from reefs off Hurghada. Despite being in the north, more crowed and developed area, the corals look very good. At least once you move away from the normal tie up spot.


Some of the delicate, varied soft corals the Red Sea is famous for

An amazing sight! A turtle without a payload of sharksuckers (aka remoras). What would a remora possibly want to eat that a turtle would likely take down, jellyfish, turtlegrass? These suckers must have skipped school that day.



The Reef. Takes me back, when I was a kid, impeccable reefs, overseas anyway, were commonplace. Not so much anymore, still you can see some mighty fine healthy corals in places here.
