Snorkeling with Common Dolphins in the Azores

A boat ride in the Azores, a pod of common dolphins, and a drop in with snorkels. They stayed with us long enough that it felt like they had decided to.

Triggerfish Attacks Diver in the Azores

I filmed a triggerfish biting my dive buddy on the nose off Pico Island. He was fine. The fish was defending its patch of reef.

Fan Coral at Ras Um Sid

Ras Um Sid, near Sharm El-Sheikh, is the dive I remember for fan coral. Big gorgonians, a lot of fish, and a reef that is easy to stay on for a long time.

A Boat Day to Tiran Island

From the Monte Carlo Hotel in Sharm El-Sheikh, a boat ride out to Tiran Island. Military remnants on shore, reefs around it, and fewer people than I expected this close to a busy coast.
