    Kind of hard to see but there is a small pipe fish in the middle towards the bottom.

    The white stuff is actually salt crystals from Lake Assal, the lowest point in Africa. Wish I would have had a refractometer to check it.

    Great reef pictures! Some nice photos of the surrounding area as well. I like the camel in the road. :)

    The snorkeling trips and getting to swim with the whale sharks was a blast. I got a chance to see a country I never would have dreamed coming to. As far as the rest of the deployment here not so much fun, I would have rather spent the last year with my awsome wife.
