Just came back from an amazing week in the red sea, finishing my PADI open water scuba course with my husband. It's like going to another world underwater, bobbing around with clouds of neon fish, flying over lush corals and spotting rays and turtles and even a reef shark in and around the bays of sharm el sheikh. We flew home from 38 degree heat to minus 3 in London last night and I set about making a thank you present for our instructors and guides at camel dive club. This fine orange lady is an anthias - I've called her anthias turner. Anthias are hermaphrodites - the most dominant female in a harem group changes sex to become male and if she dies another female steps up to the mantle. Fish feminism in action. They also swim directly into the current and seemed to be doing a much better job than me at mastering the forces of the sea.
