Barry and Freda decided to go to the Red Sea in April and opened the trip up to the rest of Lunesdale sub Aqua Club - the response was good and I was one of the 12 who winged our way down to Sharm for a week on board the MS Salma.

grey moray with a funky-looking black & yellow sea squirt

Night Dive critters:

common bigeye (I think) - these fishes' eyes would give off a red beam of light into the dark if you shone a torch on them	rusty parrotfish hiding in the coral	a lionfish hunting at night (they seemed attracted by our lights and would cruise in all around you)
an octopus trying to look like the rest of the sea floor	a freckled hawkfish - many of these sitting on coral	Forsskal's goatfish
