The conditions were a bit rough this morning. Strong wind, serious waves. As a result of the high tide of last night, there was a lot of sediment in the shallow, so visibility was poor at the beginning and end of the dive. In between visibility was good, with the morning sun shining on the corals diagonally. No other divers, just Sherif and me. No real current until swimming over the saddle at the end, so easy swimming and very low tempo.
Creatures I spotted: two lion fish, one of them chasing off other fish, its mouth open and its feathers all spread out. Trigger fish, 2 puffers, porcupine fish, starfish. Again many pairs of bannerfish. Cleaner wrasse, offering to brush my teeth.
Best dive of this holiday!
