The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

Our second dive was a wreck dive.

It was sunk 30 years ago after sitting in port for years.

Since it is only 30 years old there is only a little bit of stuff growing on it.

Parts of it were kind of cool though.

Not that many fish around but several small corals and grasses.

The wreck wasn’t too deep and bottomed out at 25 meters.

Even so there wasn’t much colour.

The ship was laying on its port side so this is looking back up towards the surface.

Here’s a good example of all the small corals starting to grow on the side of the ship.

This prop isn’t turning anymore. The urchins around it are happy about that.

The ship was interesting to see.

It looks a bit spooky looking down the stairs into the ship.

There were a couple fish around we haven’t really seen many before.

This guy looks like a triangular box, even though we didn’t get a good angle on it.

There were many lionfish around, including inside the ship hanging out.

Here’s another really long fish that we never manage to get a picture of from another angle.

The pufferfish wasn’t happy with our dive master.

They do look pretty funny puffed up.

We made it to the Red Sea and since we were there we couldn’t skip the chance to dive.

There were many of these mounds around but we forgot to ask what they might be.

There are power cables that run from Egypt to Jordan because Jordan buys power.

It is quite the setup underneath the water.

Even though we didn’t get that far into the sea and were mainly still in the gulf it was quite pretty.

There were quite a few similar looking fish and corals.

There were a few more sponges then we’d seen before.

The orange fish are back though.

This guy wasn’t blending in all too well.

If he moved back a bit into the rocks it may have been a better hiding spot.

This is a remora and our divemaster for this dive.

We had never seen them before swimming free.

It kept trying to attach to the tank and then swam all around our dive master looking for a spot to attach. It never did, but followed us for over 10 minutes.

Kerri pointed out a turtle heading right towards up.

It may have seen its reflection in the lens which is why it swam directly at me. I tried not to move too much to disturb it.

In retrospect I have no idea why I didn’t hold down the shutter because it was super cool how close it got. I just froze because I was trying to keep out of its way as it almost swam right into me.
