The Red Sea is notorious for being one of the best places to go diving or/and snorkeling. So I have decided to go diving today with the small dive shop Dinos. I am there only diver for the day so, I get to five with the dive master. How is that for first class treatment. We get transported to the port where we jump onto a boat with other divers from another diving shop. I guess this is how it works. Each dive shop has their own dive gear, they then rent space on dive boats who take people out to sea. Logical enough!
The others onboard are from Holland and Russian. I must admit, there are loads of Russian/Eastern Block tourists here, even many sighs are written in Cyrillic.
The reef is not far from the coast, and the boat trip is a mere 30 min. Both dives are amazing and I get to see loads on lion fish, rays, eels, stone fish etc. The two dives are separated by a lovely spread of local food for lunch.
The diving was very good, just not as amazing as I recall when I was in Sharm el Sheikh ten years ago. Perhaps it is not as nice here as it is there or, perhaps over commercialization has destroyed the corals here. Will have to do more diving in Sanai and then see how it compares.
