Under the Sea


The southern tip of Israel borders the Red Sea which is known for its diverse and healthy marine life. In fact, there are so many beautiful fish that I could see them from the dock.

As I stood looking at the fish, I heard the infamous words of Sebastian the Crab playing through my head and I knew I had to check it out for myself.


“Just look at the world around you, right here on the ocean floor. . .”

“. . .such wonderful things surround you, what more is you looking for?”


I was lucky enough to spend some time both diving and snorkeling in the Red Sea.

I am also lucky enough to have a camera that allows me to share some of the things I saw.

Corals in all colors and sizes:





So many fish, it felt like a saltwater aquarium!



It’s great fun to get up close and personal with the fish.





Some of the fish are a bit strange looking.



Can you spot the flounder?
And some looked at me like I was a bit strange!

I even saw Nemo down there a few times – always near an anemone.


Clown fish aren’t the only ones that like to hide. . .



Some Animals Don’t Like to be Disturbed in their Hiding Place
So many animals live in the ocean – it’s always a thrill to meet new and different ones!



Sebastian was right -- "Life is the bubbles" under the sea!
