Made a new furball friend. This time a doggo, my favorite of the furry animals (with italians being a close second). I didnt have any food for him but he insisted on pets the moment I met him, rolling right onto his back. Everytime i stopped petting him he would take his snoot and nudge my hand. If he sticks around I'm going to try to find him aome food.

I made another cat friend today. I shared my calamari with him but he was still hungry so I got the restaurant to make him some plain grilled chicken. By the time the chicken came my cat friend was gone but the restaurant staff tracked him down around the corner and gave him the meal i bought him. My cat friend should now have a stomach full of calamari and chicken.
Some more highlights from the video I took on today's dive. Video coming soon.
In thebelow pictures we have a Peacock Flounder (they change color), A Trumpet Fish, a school of Pennant Coralfish (Heniochus-acuminatus), and a Chelidonura livida.

I will share the other pictures from my dive in the next post. But this ancient absolutely massive Hawksbill Sea Turtle deserves its own post. This guy was probably about 1.8 meters long and he didn't even react when I got super close to film him munching down. It is 1000% cooler in the video I'll be uploading soon.

Holy hell do i have a treat for you guys from todays dive (will upload soon). There was an absolutely humungus Hawksbill Sea turtle on todays dive. He must have been close to 100 years old. He was just chilling on the sea floor eating some sea grass and he let me get as close as i wanted (i tried to keep a bit of distance out of respect). But yea i got some amazing video of him up close!
For now ill just share my dive profile (link below) and a picture of my tissue saturation an hour after dive is attached.
The color corrected version (which im uploading the video for) looks much better but has some artifacts.
Some highlights from today's 100 ft (30 meter) dive. Full video will be uploaded tomorrow, these are screen grabs.
We have an adult puffer fish who swam up to me at the end of the dive. An absolutely massive trumpet fish (there is a whole school of them in the uncut video), some blue staghorn coral, and a baby giant clam.
Here is the link to the dive data for anyone who wants to see the dive profile.

The night life in egypt isnt too bad. Cheap but good food and drinks, the stores are ok, mostly inexpensive imitation stuff but good quality imitations.
While you all are waiting for the actual video from my dive today (which is taking forever to upload) here are the 2 most interesting screen grabs. One is a pair of clownfish, likely mates, and the Sea Anemone they call home. The other is a picture of a Crocodilefish. Unfortunately I didnt get a video of the Moray Eel I saw on the dive.
