    Hey everyone - I recently went on vacation to Egypt along the coast of the Red Sea. I took some pics whilst snorkeling. Please remember that they are amateur and done with a cybershot and waterproof bag (so not that great), but i thought i would share a few of them.

    I would love to go to the east coast of Egypt. Great pictures. I talked to someone who was a teacher in Saudi Arabia and was an experienced snorkeler. He said that the Red Sea was the best diving he had been to. Karma.

    Thanks for the comments guys. The pictures dont really do it justice as the camera cant pick everything up and the fish consistantly move which is a little inconsiderate of them.

    I hear the Great Barrier Reef is actually over rated and too commercialized. I cant say from experience tho as the Red Sea is the only place i've been with a Reef.
