Red Sea Aggressor May 2014
May 10-17 Week 1 Brothers/Daeldalus/Elphinstone
May 17-24 Week 2 Southern/St. John itinerary - journeys to Ras Banas and St.
John's Reef, Fury Shoal, Sha’ab Mansour, Sha’ab Claude and Sataya sample lush
walls and reefs
The food and service were first rate both weeks.
You could not ask for more.
The staff did everything possible to make this a fun and relaxing adventure.
The diving was very different on the 2 routes but both were wonderful.
Week 1 - On Big Brother we saw Titan Trigger Fish, Turtles, Moray
Eels, Barracuda, Napoleon Wrasse as well as a plethora of Grey Reef
Sharks. On Little Brother we saw more Napoleon Wrasse, huge
Barracuda, Crocodile Fish, Giant Morays and to top it all off our group of
divers got to see two beautiful Hammer Heads cruise by us in the blue. At
Daedalus Reef we saw around 7 – 10 Hammerheads & we were hugely
fortunate to see around 8 Manta Ray sightings, very cool indeed!!
At Elphinstone Reef we saw 3 gorgeous Reef Sharks as well
as a massive green sea turtle. We also saw The plentiful Red Sea
Bannerfish, The masked Pufferfish and also the wonderful Butterfly fish.
Week 2 -
The week was wondering. Offering an
amazing list of underwater sea life.
Due to a lower pressure weather condition we had rough seas and low
visibility the first day but then we were treated to two hundred feet
visibility. We swam through
mystical caverns, a beautiful experience. One
day we were able to swim with a school of dolphins, this was totally amazing.
Just to name a few we saw: wonderful family of lionfish; porcupine
pufferfish; blue spotted stingray; several large moray eels swimming in the
open; gorgeous pipefish; scorpion fish
blending into the environment; blanket of sea urchins; masked puffer fish;
parrotfish; octopus; unicorn fish; Picasso trigger fish; big school of
barracuda; white tip reef shark; silky shark; big Napoleon wrasse; cuttlefish;
longnose trevally; school of huge amberjack; Turtles; Red Sea bannerfish; family
of gobies; lyretail hogfish; and always a gazillions of orange antheas (they
made the photos so lovely).
Thanks to the generous offering of my fellow travelers, below you will see
photos of our wonderful trip above and below the sea.
Happy Diving and hope you will join us on our next adventure, Lana
