Diving in Dahab

I completed my first scuba dive today. I saw lionfish, bannerfish, coralcod, triggerfish, grouper, butterflyfish and cornetfish but not that much coral compared with Jamaica or Australia. The experience was enjoyable although a little painful. The trick of equalizing ear pressure by holding your nose and blowing only worked on my right ear. So below 3m it got a little uncomfortable. The diving experience has not overtaken me like a drug like so many Dahab residents, I think I prefer the freedom of snorkelling, as the paraphernalia along with the chance of ruptured lung and burst eardrum does not appeal to me.

What a gorgeous shot! I'd definitely love to go scuba diving someday! Except now you've scared me a little, with the lung and ear thing. lol

I hope I did not put you off. I would recommend everyone tries scuba diving once. Although I saw a lot of Lionfish I must confess I took this picture the day before in an aquarium in Jordan.
