Tuesday - first big dives at Raz El Sid

First day on board ship tuesday. 2 dives over a Ras El Sid. Saw some cool stuff including a big moray eel about 7 feet long, with a mouth big enough to bit yer head off in one gulp.

I'm a bit heavy on my air... out of practice. So my dives are lasting about 10 mins less than some others on the boat.



A big puffer fish. These seem to be under the impression that they are invisible. You can more or less poke yer camera up there arse and they'll just sit there looking at you with a sort of 'silly man... he hasn't even seen me here' kind of look to their face.



About 20m deep this one. Just following the coral.



more from the brass section.



These are called trigger fish. Dunno why. They crunch through coral a bit like parrot fish (sometimes you can hear the crunching). They are about 2-3 feet long.



Jumping in off the boat to start a drift dive.
