Well it has been another fun week in the sun. Actually fortnight if I am going to be precise.
The first week was spent team teaching an open water course with a fellow instructor here at our dive centre which turned out to be great fun. Even those who did not fancy doing some extra adventure dives after the course, still came along as snorklers on the boat just to be a part of the group still. And one of the students had a few extra days, so managed to complete his advanced course and do a few dives with our guides.
This week was spent guiding once again… and looking for big stuff!!! Well we saw a manta ray at the surface last week, and the Sharm grapevine has been sending word of a great hammerhead shark lurking around Shark and Yolande reefs!!! Here is where it starts… the summer rush.
Well we have just had a massive plankton bloom followed by an invasion of the jellies (tunicates, jelly fish, salp all that slimy stuff) and that is always sure to bring it on. I have also seen hordes of baby antheas and great shoals of small fusilier like silver fish that I don’t recognise… but as sure as anything look like the perfect menu for a big fish feeding frenzy. At the moment any frenzy has been limited to just the butterflies and tangs that seem to love the tunicate and of course the cleaner wrasse at Fiddle Garden, who is more keen on the jelly stuff than us!! So eyes peeled, and do let us know if you spot anything bigger than a grouper
