Default Beneath The Red Sea In Photos - PART II

Started a new thread to try to keep the image loading rate a bit faster. So, here goes some more ...



Brett motors over a nice patch of reef, neat wetsuit!








We try to bring Napolean fish in by rolling our fists like "eggs." Who thought Napolean was that crazed by eggs, also, where do these fish come by chicken eggs in the Red Sea. Inquiring minds wanna know?




Niki rests on the bottom




Nice drop offs in the Red Sea




Great colors, a water color scene from a hundred years ago.

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






A sea of fry beneath a coral pinnacle



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.
