Comments	Good diving in 83-84 degree waters. Corals were incredible, very healthy and were everywhere. Fish abundant with roughly same species you see in other tropical waters but colors and markings different. Eels were enormous with heads the size of football players thighs. Lengths remained at about 4-5 feet. Boat was very comfortable and we were lucky to be on it. Apparently the Egyptian government imposed no leaving the docks for several weeks for over 25 boats docking in Hurghada. Our dive agent at Seasick Productions was able to obtain another boat, Odyessey, very quickly though it was not as new as the Blue Force. The Blue Force staff ran the Oddessey. Things ran very smoothly and the staff was wonderful. We dived off the liveaboard for two days and then switched over to pangas. There were three and a DM for each. DMs headed by Natalie were very good. Staff aided us with wet suits and set ups every day. Nitrox checked every dive with readings under 30 every time.
