Diver's Notes

First dive at sharm 2010 Dive with camel dive. Good Russian guide Russ. We were debreifed in the log cabin. Geared up half way and my regs didnt fit the BCD so had to ren gear. Jumped in off the jetty and went down to 8m then gradually down to 20m hundreds of beautiful fish, clown fish, numerous tangs we saw 2 large octopus and saw large lionfish also some large dark fish under the Jetty as i was doing my 5m safety stop. Really good dive.
