Live Aboard Diving... WoW!

I wasn't really sure what to expect... except to see loads of sharks on our diving trip to the Brothers Island... well... the sharks didn't get the dive trip agenda and were pretty scarce (I only saw 2 ... and on the same dive)... but that didn't ruin the trip... it was an excellent experience to see the Red Sea and so many other fish that I'd never seen during other dive trips... Of course there we the two Grey Reef sharks (Longnose Blacktail Shark variety became the naming debate) with one giving a great view at around 70ft (can you see his smile?) There were so many other fish to see though, schools of juvenile Barracuda's (pic to the right) along with the solitary adult Barracuda's, schools of goat fish with a few 1,000 fish in them... Gigantic Napoleon's, Morey Eels out swimming around, tons of Blue Spotted Rays, clear fin and common Lion fish, Octopus (they are really amazing how they camouflage themselves into the reef), and really... the list goes on and on. Roger, Hussein, and Gary took tons of pictures, and I have to thank them for sharing their pics with all of us from the trip, these that are here are from Gary ... oh yeah, the pic on the left is a little display of how amazing the corals were too.
