Gearing Up |
|
 |
The water is warm and thus, no wet suits. This means,
no weights; only t-shirt, swim trunks, and one big fish tank.
My
favorite quote before my first dive on this trip. Bruce Conrad,
"Steve, are you sure you want to wear those swim-trunks, the
herbivores may think you're a meal." It made me think. I, later beat
him in a game of cards. It felt good - payback of some sort. |

Loading
onto the Zodiac. It takes us into hard to reach dive sites.
Lisa,
your on my fin - AGAIN. |
 |
Weightless 100 feet under.. say cheese. |

First, Some Small Stuff |
|
 |
Everybody
loves a clown - fish (Nemo). |
 |
Nudi
Branch (sea worms) - not more than 1/2 inch. |
 |
A shrimp,
but not one you'd eat. They'll manicure your cuticles - for free. |
|
|
|
|
Some Big Stuff |
|
 |
Diving
with dolphins.
No cages
in the Red Sea. It's not a zoo. We got lucky on
this one. |
 |
Moray Eel
- they're harmless... right? |
 |
Two Meter
Manta Ray. Herbivore hunter extraordinaire.
Honestly,
the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life. There is a higher
something going on. Must be seen to be
believed. |
 |
Blue Spotted Ray. |
 |
Da Dum, Da Dum, Da-dum-da-dum, Da-dum-da-dum.
(2 meter gray reef shark)
Graceful. Simple. Not Hollywood's
interpretation, just beauty.
Upon seeing my first shark, my
reaction was quite simply, "It moves like an angel." |
 |
"May I
pet you?"
Jean
does ask for permission first. (see the video) |
|
|
|
|
The zen of diving..... |
|
 |
Ahhhhh... "and what was it that I
was stressing over...?" |
 |
My favorite quote from photog
Natalie extraordinaire.
"Steve, you're either one inch
from something (staring at the reef) or you're floating in the
middle of nowhere." Natalie. |
 |
"Dancing
where the stars go blue."
"Darling,
you
dance like you're floating on air." |
 |
Something old, in something blue. |
 |
Returning
to the Tutu 1.
It 's
amazing to see your 100 foot boat from 100
feet under the sea, knowing there is a cold one waiting for you
and great stories to share with great friends. |

A day
of four dives ends in a hotly contested game of cribbage. |
