Flashbacks from our dives in the Red sea...
Three months in Egypt, gave us excellent possibilities for great diving, and interesting encounters with many of the fantastic creatures living in the underwater world.
This time, I want to share some pics from my lionfish encounters...
The lionfish is not only a beautiful creature, often it is also very curious and prefer to come and have a close look at both diver and photo equipment...
This to my great enthusiasm! :)
Those curious, decorative fishes are not harmless though...
They are well known for their venomous fin rays and a sting from a lionfish is painful and constitutes a serious health emergency.
Look, but do not touch...
... an obvious respect we should show all wild animals not used to human contact.
During our stay in the Red sea, I got lots of "hotspots" where I gladly made a majority of dives. One of those "hotspots", a coral tower filled with lionfishes, became a given place to spend many hours...
A small area, with lots of marine life in relatively shallow water, easily results in many dives, long bottom time and quantity of footage and photographs!! ;)
