Daedalus Island is as impressive as the brothers but less dived as it is further south. The dive guides are all fighting as to who is diving which tells you how good it is. Commonly seen are hammerheads, reef sharks,the odd turtle and many beautiful hard and soft corals.

 

 

A group photograph of our fellow divers in the dining room. This is taken on just one of the three deck levels giving you some idea of the scale of the Grand Sea Serpent. Other than for briefings or meal times, you would never have known there were 24 people on board. Some would be in the air conditioned lounge furiously downloading the latest photographs onto laptops, while others would be sunbathing, reading or otherwise relaxing between dives.

 

 

A very close encounter with this hammerhead certainly woke me up on the first dive of the day.

The early morning dive is always the best for big fish, and a wake up call with Mustapha bringing the tea to the cabin, was always a great start to the day!

 

 

 

The large but gentle giant Napoleon Wrasse as it swims along beside you pretending to be your buddy. The divers legs and fins you can see in the background gives you some idea of how big this beautiful fish really is!

 

 

 

 

An awesome sighting of a Manta Ray which was being followed by a few dolphins as it emerges out of the deep blue. This was taken on Little Brother at around 25 metres with the Manta passing by at about 35 metres. In a week with so many diving highlights, this was certainly up there with the best!

 

 

 

After lunch on the Tuesday and two dives done, the boat returns to the harbour at Marsa Galib where you are transferred to the Coral Beach Hotel by Zodiac. Dinner is included and breakfast the following morning. Your room is reserved for you until you are due to leave late afternoon on Wednesday. Sunbathing and relaxing is the main activity.
