Diving in the Red Sea

We finally had a three day weekend!  Yay!  Bryan coordinated a boat to take 30 of our friends out on a snorkeling trip to sand island.  Can you guess what would be on sand island?  Hermit crabs, 1 bush, and lots of sand.  Bryan and I never got to see the island because we snorkeled the entire time.  I can't believe that was our first time out.  It is so easy, cheap, and beautiful. 

This is my first time inserting a video.  Hopefully it works.  Notice the octopus!  So cute!

 Here is the upper deck.

 Can you see Sand Island!  Looks like a whopper!  However, it has a great reef that surrounds the island.  It keeps the kids busy while we play.

 Here is most of our gang.  Imagine us coordinating an event. 

 My Kiwi girlfriends!

 The blue is the inside of a clam.  They were so beautiful when they opened up . 

 Lion Fish

 Jellyfish Season

 They served us breakfast and lunch.  We only paid about $125 for our entire family for the day.

We had a fun day with all of our friends.  Bryan and I are now working on taking a refresher course for scuba diving.  We are doing a weekend out to sea when the whale sharks come.  I can't imagine swimming with something so big!  I will have lots of pictures when that happens.
