From Lisa:
Diving the Red Sea was amazing! We saw lion fish, eels, stonefish, crocodile fish, clown fish and many, many others that I couldn't ID because they were so different from anything I've ever seen before. And the colors! Beautiful blues and pinks and yellows, so brilliant and bright it looked as though we were swimming through a pristine aquarium instead of underwater. The snorkeling was incredible as well. Crystal clear water that you could see forever in...an awesome experience! I didn't want to leave the water even for a minute. And while we were there, I didn't (except for the beachfront happy hours, of course!) :-)
From Cheryl:
What an amazing experience to dive the Red Sea. The location we chose provided us the opportunity to make a shore dive. About 15-20 meters from the shore the depth went to 10 meters (approx 30 feet). There were 5 of us from our Intrepid group that opted to make the dive. The dive was great although I had heard that the vis was up to 100 m, ours was a bit less because there were some ferries far out in the sea that stirred up things a bit. No matter, we were still able to get glimpses of some amazing undersea life and a few more dives logged in my book toward my goal of 100 before I leave SE Asia!

Aquarium
It looks like you are swimming in the aquarium with all the fish. I can't believe the beauty you found in the
sea. Great pictures. Watch out for the eel.
