We did a surface swim for about 200 meters until we arrived at a cape, then we descended to a depth between 10-15 meters and went for the wreck of Um el-Faroud. All of a sudden what would show to be the starboard stern of the wreck. The share size of the wreck amazed me and i was really thrilled to get closer.
When we got to the stern we saw a moray. We continued along the deck from the stern and after a while we penetrated the wreck following our guide. we went through it and followed the staircase several floors up. We went through the dining area and the kitchen.
On the way back Linda tried to give a eremite crab a new home - he checked it but decided to continue with the skinny dipping. When we submerged a local asked if we could fetch his snorkel from the bottom, Linda saved the day!
The dive was really exiting!
Since i was last of the three I had to enjoy the fireworms raining down around me - There and then I descided not to go with a shorty again.
