It is true! Once in a while we do get some freaky conditions over here, though thankfully it is rare, and normally only lasts a day or two. So this week, despite low winds, and some lovely sunshine, we have had some really dodgy swelly stuff coming in. And it is coming in from all directions, no sites seem to be sheltered or spared from this weird swell. We had waves crashing onto the beaches in the Gardens yesterday! Of course this has churned up all our lovely fine sand, resulting in a right old milky mess in the water. Yesterday we had visibility dropping to about a foot in places! Wow! Quite a novelty. Thankfully we only had small groups in the water, it would have been no fun with a group of 8 divers for sure. I was snorkel guide, thankfully, so was able to just bimble on the surface with my guests, although to be honest, it wasn’t the best example of Red Sea snorkelling. Hey ho, I guess that makes us appreciate that crystal clarity that we normally so take for granted
