maneating wrasses!
Thursday, September 14th, 2006Well, maybe I am being a little dramatic here… but we were under attack yesterday!
Those of you who have dived here in Sharm may have had the pleasure of diving a site named Fiddle Garden where you will find a couple of cleaner wrasse who have discovered that it is much easier to clean the divers that pass by at regular intervals.
Well, as usual we headed out that way, keen to see the novelty, however I had forgotten about a graze on my knee! Ooh it was like bees to honey! The two wrasse who do this trick, attacked my knee with such gusto, they pulled the scab off and ate it (yik) coming back for more once that was done! I had to put my hand over my now bleeding knee to stop their feast… OK I’m being a wuss here, it didn’t hurt, but I did kind of prefer it when they were happy to nibble your ear a little! We also noticed a third, smaller wrasse has cottoned on to the little trick, I wonder how long it will take for the word to spread!
