Yellow Snapper

Another FOTW exclusive for you here. We were lucky to get a sneak preview of John West's lasestt market breaking product. Tinned yellow snapper.

Red Sea Walker

This chap was seen dragging himself across a sand bottom recently.

No wonder he looks so miserable.

Bannerfish Kindergarden

The black blobs in the shiney stuff on the top of this coral would appear to be eggs that these two Bannerfish are guarded.

Loggerhead Turtle

If you go to Hurghada make sure you dive Careless reef. A top dive. Perhaps you need to be a bit lucky with the weather conditions but once you are down its heaving with wild life.
Careless consists of two large pinnacles edged with a plateau around 18 m deep over which is spread a stunning coral garden. This in turn is edged by a drop off in to the deep blue. Situated further away from the coast it perhaps gets a fewer visitors than some of the other reefs. Excellent news that. So make the effort, get out there and get down. Careless was subject to a clean up operation when it became infected with Crown of Thorns. Thanks to all of those who helped in making careless an excellent dive.

Toxic Leather Sea Urchin

As we creep through the current credit crunch, what with all its toxic assets and plainly toxic bankers who hopefully never get another job (although potato picking in Lincolnshire might be a possibility for some of the the younger ones) we find nature has also created its on toxins. The toxic leather sea urchin was spotted (with at least 1500 others I might add) creeping up a reef wall on a super night dive. I suspect the toxic bankers will be creeping around in the dark too and it would not upset me if there were 1500 of them either.

Whitespotted Pufferfish

Thankfully our yellow streak has come to and. Just to convince you here a lovely shot of a white spotted pufferfish.

Yellow Goatfish

Really need a video to do justice to the barbles on these two goatfish as there explore the sandy bottom as they swam pasted.
