The waters of the Red Sea promise an entirely new surreal experience every time one dips below the surface. Shoals of thousands of mackrel dance as irridescent colours bounce off their scales. Barracuda bask in the shallows, bellies tickled by seagrass. Turtles and their remora companions weightlessly drift up and down the water colum. Reefs provide refuge for countless species, who peak out of their hiding spaces for just long enough for the passerby to appreciate them.
