Last week, with the extra time we've been given with our late start, a group of us headed to the Red Sea for a diving safari. We took a bus East to, and then South along the Red Sea coast, to Safaga where we boarded our boat, Ramadan 3. Over the next 3 days we floated on the sea diving into the breathtaking wonders of the underwater world of the Red Sea... amazing!On our first dive we saw lots of little colourful fishies and the ever popular "nemos" too :)
On our second dive we saw a Puffer Fish and the beautiful, but poisonous Lion Fish!
On our night dive we each had a flashlight and we went down into the dark sea to explore... yikes! We saw TONS of Lion Fish (remember, poisonous!!!) and a Blue Spotted Stingray... very cool!
On day#2 we did a wreck dive into the "Salem Express", a 1991 wreck carrying hundreds of pilgrims returning from the hajj. It was an eerie feeling floating among the suitcases, clothing, and items of this underwater graveyard.
On day three, we did three more dives, including one to a depth of 30 metres so John could obtain his Advanced Open Water certification, allowing him even greater access to the wonders of seas and oceans. Throughout it all, we saw all sorts of creatures and sights, but our favourite underwater creatures have to be the Angel Fish, who always seem to be swimming in pairs!! Of course the eels, who always seem to be lurking in the coral are pretty cool too! 
It was a great way to start our Egyptian adventure, and we are looking forward to more diving, in the Red Sea or the Mediterranean, and everything else this ancient area holds for us!
Peace & Love, Cairo Maniacs
