Alex's holiday snaps - Dahab Egypt May 2002

lionfish





Right - lionfish (~30cm)
Snorkelling in Dahab bay, I duck-dived down to 4.5m (holding breath) to get this shot.
This lionfish was sharing a truck tyre with another lionfish, a pufferfish and a small moray.

Puffer fish







Left - Puffer fish (~70cm)
This puffer fish was chilling out under a large table coral. There's also a diver in the background here if you look closely.








Blue-spotted ribbontail stingray




Right - Blue-spotted ray (~1.2m)
This ray was resting under a piece of coral at Napoleon reef.


Crocodile fish



Left - Crocodile fish (~90cm)
This ugly mutt was resting under a large coral outcrop at Napoleon reef at about 10m depth. Quite difficult to spot because of their camouflaged colors. The alternative name is "carpet flathead" and you can see why.

Anemone fish




Right - Anemone fish (~10cm)
These anemone fish live just near the exit to the blue hole.
