    When we went to Hurghada on the first day going out a reef (no idea which one it was because I have done the best to eradicate it from my mind), I looked behind us as we steamed, there were less boats crossing the English Channel on D Day. Once we started diving, the boats dropped name plates into the water so you know which boat o get back onto....If I never go back, it will be too soon.

    We tried Egypt because it would be great to have a good dive destination "close" to home, but we realised that for us, time is not of the essence and doing really special shit is more important than convenience.

    We have friends that absolutely love Sharm, but I simply cant see us being persuaded to go again.

          Made no real difference, but i had a little negative buoyancy when I took my mask off, and could not see I was sinking 😀

            And this little critter, another Nudibranch, probably 4mm long. I saw a brown splodge, I had no idea what it was until Shiela showed me this photo

                  @Giles 😃 Not sure if that was seal team six or six teen seals. 🤣
                  Would love to join You, it's been nothing but 4 degrees Celsius dives here in Stockholm's archipelago during the spring.

                    Getting ready for a muck dive with @Madame-Buttonfly. You'd never know I had just bust the zip of her wetsuit.

                        She put my spare "cardigan" over the top, and all was good.....

                        But I have repurpose a couple of different sized cable ties for pointers. They are what the guides use here and it's a brilliant idea.....
