Here are some pictures of our Honeymoon. We went on a Red Sea Diving Safari and took our second diving course (Advanced open water). Although slightly decadent, we took the Royal Class Suite: closest to the diving centre, yet not very far from the chemical toilet!

Here's some pictures we took with our not quite professional under water camera: a simple cheap throw-away instant point-and-shoot deal. No focus mechanism, so pictures taken from less than 1 meter away are unsharp. It could only go 4 meters deep so we couldn't take it on our dives, we only took it snorkling. Roy made some pictures on the house reef, Silvie "shot" some dolphins at Sha'b Samadi.

We also saw a crocodilefish, clownfish, lionfish, blue spotted rays, a torpedo ray, a big Napoleon and a pipefish. During the night dive I swear I saw a fogfish, but our instructor was pointing at some lobsters with gloing red eyes. And you know you are not going to find that frogfish again...

Sha'b Samadi - Dolphin House Reef

Dive No: 28 (multilevel dive), 29 (both boat dives)
Max. depth: 32m.

This day we went boat diving. Dolphin house reef is about a 45 minute sail from Marsa Alam (which is about a 1 hour drive south from Marsa Shagra). We had a great day: after swimming with some dolphins, we saw our very first shark on the first dive. The second dive this day took us to the inside of the reef.
