Description of dives:

Normal sort of first dives for a student. Mark did quite well. Second dive we anticipated further open water work. We saw a cuttlefish, missed a sea snake. There were the usual snapper everywhere, a few largish grouper, and a tiger colored black and yellow fish that followed us around. Schools of some kind of fish on the Ras Ghurab dive. Lots of clams, spotted a few gopies and their crab excavators, and the porphyra coral looked in good shape.
