Just got back from a week in Marsa Alam in Southern Egypt...did not get all that much time for photos as I was doing the resuce diver course. I did though come across this amazing animal...
Dugongs are part of the same family of sea cows as the Manatee, but they are found in the Red Sea and across the Indo-Pacific region.
I have a short video clip of it feeding as well... http://www.simonandmerith.com/marsaalam2004/dugong/dugong.wmv
Not really had the time to edit the photos as I would like, but will post a few more over the next few days from other dives :10:
