Second dive in sharm 2010 Dive with Russ the Russian again, We were debreifed gain in the log cabin. this dive was to the left side of the jetty this time. The first 10-15mins were just small clumps of coral quite alot of dead coral but plenty of beautiful fish beats any UK dive for diversity of life. I saw massive puffer fish and 2 blue spotted rays several lion fish. En-route back i had a look into a cave where there were several largre shoals of fish. Some very colourful and some dark hiding in the shadows. Mohamed also a guide who fancied the tag along was my dive buddy took a cup, i asked him if if he wanted a drink! lol But he had found it and cleared any rubbish he came across. This was the better of the 2 dives of today. A very slow dive with no swimming involved. I broke my hour barrier. Whoop. Great dive.
