UNDERWATER_Giant Moray Eel (Red Sea) by vanessa
Here is Giant Moray Eel - actually only the head of Moray. Normally they hide themselves in the rocks, as their long and massive body is not safe at opened waters. Then it is siting with open mouth and hunting all that comes into (exceptof cleaners who enter and leave free). Moray has poor eyesight but an excellent sense of smell. They can reach up to 3m, then they get so huge that already doesnt have anemies. I have seen few times huge morays free swimming. Quite amazing thing, i have to say.

UNDERWATER_Night dive: Red Sea habbitants by vanessa
Here composed few of night dive photos. Normally night animals are differ then those whic u see at day dives. Top left - it was really big star, about 1m. Bottom left - yellow anemones, looking like flowers, but they are animals. When they feel you near they escape inside their "tube"-leg. At top right side - amazing creature - Spansh dancer. Its large nudibrunch (mollusk), usually red. The animal was given the common name "Spanish dancer" because the whirling swimming movement, and the red color of the mantle, are reminiscent of the skirt movements of a flamenco dancer. Bottom right - young and tiny lionfish.

UNDERWATER_Dolphines! (Red Sea, Egypt) by vanessa
We where diving the wreck (The Carnatic is a beautiful 19th Century British cargo ship that lies on Sha'ab Abu Nuhas Reef) and there a big group of dolphins appeared. It was quite amazing, they are courious animals, so they came very near. There were 2 large mammas with 3 dolphin-kids, and 7 more young dolphins of different sizes.

UNDERWATER_Spotted Ray (Red Sea, Egypt) by vanessa
Blue-spotted Ray is one of my favorites. They are pretty common in this area, but still I do love to meet them. I like his angry yellow (cat's!) eye; I like him swimming, like a flyin blanket; I like when he covers himself with sand (like in this photo) - to "hide" himself from courious eyes. Spotted Ray doesnt have much anemies, as he has a "poisoned" spine on the tail. He doesnt afraid from divers as well but doesn't look for company of human creatures.
