Hot hot hot and sharks sharks sharks!

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

Yes it is that time of year again, and sadly I have been far too busy in the water to get onto my faithful lappie and keep up to date with the latest goings on in Sharm.

Well the title says it all… it is that time when every trip to Tiran brings with it the hope that the sea flattens out enough for us to go “round the back”. Out there if they want to be found, we live in hope of spotting the hammerheads or more. And… sometimes we do strike lucky…

And then we go down south to Ras Mohammed and great joy we find the barracuda shoal in which we can find a couple of very big black tips… ooo. Although if it is any consolation, on our second dive on Shark and Yolande last week, we didn’t see a single fish for 20 mins, which if you know this reef is quite a miracle in itself!!!

So week two of guiding and we shall see what this brings. I have probably scuppered the lot now by writing about it, I shall put on my bestest shark attractor suit and see what happens.

Watch this space, and don’t worry, I shall be sure to share my pain if we do indeed see nothing bigger than a trigger fish all week! Hee hee.
