FISH OF THE WEEK - Bannerfish

This chap was not schooling with his mates on Ras Katy but spotted somewhere else. I think his partner had popped over the reef edge out of view when this piccy was taken. Obviously this one is the male, being up for some free internet exposure.

FISH OF THE WEEK - Long Nosed Hawkfish

This little beauty is often the subject of award winning underwater photgrpahs. Well I doubt this one will win anything but he was spotted by an eagle eyed FOTW photgrapher resting up on this Gorgonian Fan coral on Woodhouse Reef. Yep, you guested it, one of the Tiran reefs in the Rea Sea. They are well worth a visit.

Thanks of the week

Once again FOTW has nice things to say about Emperor Divers. FOTW newcomer, Hilary, who successfully came through the open water training in Sharm with Emperor Divers has e-mailed FOTW to say....

"I would like to thank Bryan, Sonia and Steve at Emperor Divers for their patience and support in teaching me to dive and Matt, Helen, Martin, Fiona and Kiera for their good company in and out of the water and of course my buddy Rick. Finally, not least, the cleaner wrasse who cleaned my ears. "

I didn't know that Emperor had cleaner wrasses on the payroll. Nice idea for the all round diver experience. If there is any one from Leeds International Swimming Pool out there, perhaps its an idea you might consider!

FISH OF THE WEEK - Blue Fusiliers

Always spectacular, but hugh shoals of fast swimming Blue Fusiliers breaking both sides of you is magical. Again this photograph was taken on Jackson Reef in the Tiran straights.

FISH OF THE WEEK - Masked Butterflyfish

At last, what you have all been waiting for.....Fish. These two masked butterflyfish were photographed by FOTW on Jackson Reef, in the Tiran straights in the Red sea. For those of you who are not familiar with the Tiran reefs, Jackson is one of four reefs. It boasts a top top coral garden. Its the sort of place where you could dive all day and not get bored. Mr, I want to retire there. Enjoy.

Ever dedicated to their search for quality fish a crack team FOTW divers demonstrate that they will go to any lengths to get the pics that have made this site a legend on in our own lunch times.

Just look at at 'hey. look at me being cool upside down ! ' technique from buoyancy guru Dr. Tone!
