South Marsa Alam - bleaching?

[scubaozy]

Egyptian Red Sea is way more resilient in comparison to other diving destinations. Northern Red Sea is mostly unaffected.

Have been to El Quesir in august and yes there was definitly some bleaching but not as some other area's I have seen. Will be back in the beginnig of december and will see how it is then.

Any reports of how are the reefs in Soma Bay, Ras Mohammed and Strait of Tiran vs pre-2023 event?

I will be at Gorgonia Beach from 2nd of December to January 1st. If you remind me, I will take some picture (granted I am not a pro and I have an old action cam...), so you can judge from that yourself.
However, I do not have any comparisson pictures and for myself I do not cour myself as competent enough to state something about bleaching after I have seen it.

Hi, how is the reef at Gorgonia now? I hope you're having a lovely holiday!

Sorry my bady did not notice the typo in my first posting. Apparently I pressed only once the "2". Yeah one month would really be long

I will add some observations once back in January with the dive sides all the way down to the Sudanese border.
