Al-Wasel 1

We went to a spot which is located about half an hour boat journey. Amazing!!! It's a coral island in the middle of the Red Sea. Al-Wasel, that's the name where we went. Al-Wasel means a cluster of coral islands, meaning there are many coral islands surrounding the area and there are more than 10 diving spots just in that area.

Of course, these photos are not professionally taken.

We managed to make 2 dives, each dive took about 30 to 40 minutes with a depth down to 40 ft even though the area is about 60 ft deep. I had a problem with equalizing the pressure that I was not able to go further down. Anyway it was fantastic. The visibility was excellent. Unfortunately, the camera that Pok Lah brought has limited memory of 16 MB, so only a handful of photo shots were secured. Since the camera was a cheap one (SR300), the quality was not that excellent. Will buy the good one later, that's for sure.
