Well I finally got to Ras Mohammed the other day for the first time in ages! Woo Hoo!
Shark n Yolande was the first dive site and in we jumped on Anenome City… “great!” I thought a lively current going in the direction we wanted. So off we drifted towards Shark Reef taking in the huge anenomes filled with hordes of clown fish and domino dascyllus on the little plateau.
As we got to the gulley between the reefs, the visibility dropped and I could see scraps of mangrove leaf. Not a good sign, as the poor vis meant that the current was coming towards us from the sandy area behind the main reefs (ie reversed to normal) and the bits of mangrove just confirmed this. All the same we still had a lovely dive.. just didn’t quite make it to the wreckage of the Yolande. As we reached the corner, huge shoals of fish were facing head into the oncoming current, and the anthias were flying all over the shop ahead of us. Hmmm time to turn around I feel. Still it was glorious, we were met by such hordes of fusiliers that I was fish blind! All I could see was wall to wall fish all around me.. brilliant.
