Two wrecks dotted about 20 metres apart. Mainly a lot of broken sheet metal and not massive but plenty of different fish life to see. Little box fish and tonnes of trumpet fish..... As we seemed to see on all dives! Arrow crabs are very cool. With blue pinchers and very thin long legs. Towards the stern there was a big stingray and out into the blue was a little Eagle ray. Felt a little bit of a numpty on this five bring the first one on open circuit for a while and with my new fins.

Pretty small Wreck. Domingo the dive guide found a crusty old fishing rod. Was fairly happy exploring when Steve dragged us away on a circular search for snapper or rays...... Didn't find any so it came across like a very bizarre activity. Especially with Domingo carrying his fishing rod. Back on the Wreck was some nice Scorpion fish and lots of trumpet fish. Plus a large number of these little fish which look like baby box fish. Was funny spotting the yachts running lights in the water plus tiny propellor.

Dreadful viz and swell from the south. But a very nice dive for Nessa and i..... Lots to see across this little reef. The reef itself was made up of lots of smaller pebble size and shaped rocks but stuck together, presumably by volcanic material. We followed along the string of divers through the poor visibility and mainly just trying to keep in sight of Steves torch beam. During the dive there was lots of trumpet fish, parrot type fish, damselflies, snappers, arrow crabs dotted across the reef. Spent quite some time looking for nudibranchs but it was too swelly and we were moving too fast to spot any. At end Steve had trouble finding the shot and a pair of divers. Back on the surface we found a safety sausage..... Few minutes later we found two muppet "British divers" pop up about 50 metres away..... Said they had put the buoy up without a reel so we would know where they were..... And the reel was on his other safety sausage! Muppets.

Epic dive. So many fish. Not really any Wreck but great dive. 2 electric rays and a lovely Eagle ray swimming about. Just incredible swimming through the massive shoal of snapper and trumpet fish. Felt a shadow pass over it was such a big shoal. Ascending the shot when we had ten mins of deco we saw the barracuda move back in hunting. And we could see the Wreck back up at around 20 metres still. Very cool scene when Nessa went swimming into the massive shoal with her arms out.... She looked so happy (Ie narked) but I totally agreed with her sentiments. Possibly the most intense 14 minutes of dive i've ever had.

Massive puffer fish underneath a rock quite early on the dive. Sting ray nearby. Trigger fish started very aggressive but then warming to us. And also then some nice black damselfish following us around. Cleaner shrimp pair and a nice anemone. Right by a little moray. Attacked by a barracuda that was hunting...... Or at least very close Big shoal of snapper and glass fish. Swimming moray eel.

Back on this Wreck to get some viz again. Despite being small there is still plenty to see on the seabed. Lots of very cute little box fish that seemed to follow us with their pouty sucked in cheeks! Also found a little moray eel that actually took the bait of Steve removing his middle finger from the glove. Steve spotted another electric eel that was very sleepy and didn't want to move as much as yesterday's gang on the Lots and lots of Scorpion fish about. Very nice gentle dive with comfy 20 minutes at the bottom.

This dive felt very much like the diving in gozo. We met a dive school about 20 mins away who then we followed grabbing other people and tanks before heading to a remote beach covered in rocks and sand dunes. The area on the land here is protected to preserve the habitat of the local birds. And that includes the water surrounding the area. This makes it a great place to go diving as there is no fishing in the area. Was lovely underwater after entering via a bit of a washing machine entry. Lots of colour and love underwater. We started to see lots of blue and yellow nudibranchs and also lots of fish of different varieties. Some curious looking shannies up in the shallows, rainbow coloured wrasse, lovely little box fish and some loyal jacks which followed us for a good 10-15 minutes. Was quite a swim in the dive.... Over the top of the reef before dropping down to the seabed at about 20 metres. We also spotted a few moray eels in small cracks and were fooled by the sea cucumbers into thinking they were octopus or morays under the rocks. Down on the sand our guide found a stargazer buried. Was very impressive how we spotted it and could lift it out of the sand. Looked like the mouth of an iguana or crocodile. Great watching it bury itself again after being extracted from the sand. Down into the bottom and we spotted again a big school of snapper with a few hungry looking barracuda around..... They stayed a lot further away today than earlier in the week ;-)

Second dive was much of the same but had the real pleasure of seeing an angel shark buried in the sand. After the dive I admitted to myself that this was the one thing I really wanted to see this week.... Happy days. We also went adventuring in a little cave where there was a number of pink big eyes. Also there was lots of little red lobsters. Miguel also pointed out another marbled electric ray in the sand.

What a different type of water, scenery and diving experience up here in the north. Feels a lot more like the UK and I know so many divers who would love this. Heading out of a very industrial port on the rib, heading off into the prevailing north easterly winds was a little heavy going compared to the smooth seas of the south. But it felt a lot more natural to me. As soon as we hit the water though you could see the was brilliant visibility.... Well over 15 metres and staring at some very clear volcanic sharp rock faces. We followed our very charismatic and larger than life dive guide, José, through the wonderful caves that we were exploring. Not a huge amount of fish life (except when José smashed the invasive sea urchins up). Very strange but cool current /swell............ Tbc We were diving with some 300 bar 10 litre tanks which were a revelation.... Nice and long tanks so very comfy underwater plus felt I could probably drop down to 2 kgs of lead.

This dive was an amazing mix between a Norway, Egypt and Scottish dive. Definitely on par or better than anything I've done in the red sea. Was bowled away by the lovely propellor and the huge flank of Hull. Then through later into a bit of a cave where the parts of wreckage have been forced by the power of the water into the cave.

Back for our final dive of the trip on the south coast. Nice relaxing dive in the end..... Good to be back on these wrecks now that I have Saw a good load of stuff. Usual trumpet fish hanging upside-down over the Wreck, shoal of yellow snapper, box fish and black/blue damselfish. Also spotted a lovely Eagle ray sleeping in the sand plus two pairs of cuttlefish presumably mid-courtship. Still amazed by their beauty and alien movements underwater. Such mesmerising creatures. Had a look at the rubber ducks tied to the engine block. Much bigger than expected but couldn't see one from harrods! Curious amber jacks came to pay a visit when we were doing our safety stop which kept me entertained for a little while. Overall a lovely chilled out way to finish a great week of diving...... Now for some jet skiing!!
