Teacherinegypt: Turtle Beach Snorkelling

Thursday after school I drove to the Dolphin Club and met with Ingi, Sally and Jos. WE all went with Sally and Jos and after a 3 hour drive we arrives at Turtle Beach Resort at Ras Al Hadd. We booked for two nights with 2 breakfasts and two suppers included. The resort is located where there are a lot of turtles, the huge turtles we saw last year aren’t here but there are smaller turtles. We arrived too late for a swim on Thursday but had a nice supper in the dining room and I got lots of interesting South African information. Friday morning we were up early and into the water before breakfast. We spent about an hour in the water and after breakfast another two hours and them more time in the afternoon and evening. I was smart to wear a long sleeve shirt in but since I thought my legs would be underwater I didn’t cover them or use sunscreen on them. Not smart, have a hot seat and hot legs and wore pants in the water after that. The water is amazingly warm, and the coral and fish are beyond imagination. We saw two turtles and multi coloured fish of all types. My favorites were the yellow and black tear-drop shaped fish and the many blue fish, indigo fish and many other shades of blue and yellow. We saw an eel, cuttle fish, squid, a large puffer fish, and so may others. The coral is massive and every colour and shape. We saw clown fish in the sea anemone. Ingi had a camera and took some awesome shots. We were water logged by the time to go home, but it was awesome.
