Big, small, colourful, strange… and occasionally swimming directly at the camera. 😂

One of the best things about diving in the Red Sea is that no two dives are quite the same.

One day it might be dolphins or a turtle. The next you’re searching the reef for tiny creatures you could easily swim straight past. Add beautiful coral, moray eels, rays and hundreds of species of reef fish, and there’s always something worth looking for.

So for the last post of September, here’s a little collection of some of our favourite Red Sea residents.

Which one would you most like to find on your next dive? 🤿

Wrecks have a habit of becoming part of the reef. ⚓🐠

This one has some new residents — a whole collection of lionfish making themselves at home inside.

But exploring wrecks brings different considerations to an ordinary reef dive. Restricted spaces, sharp edges, entanglement hazards, navigation and changes in visibility all need to be taken into account.

The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty is completed over four dives and teaches you how to survey and navigate wrecks, recognise potential hazards, use lines and reels, and plan wreck dives safely.

Because there’s a big difference between looking inside a wreck and knowing how to explore one properly. 🤿

There are some sounds underwater that get everyone’s attention very quickly. 🐬

Hearing dolphins before you can actually see them is definitely one of them.

Then comes the inevitable moment of everyone looking around trying to work out where they are… before somebody finally points into the blue.

We’re lucky enough to have dolphins here in the Red Sea, but an encounter on a dive still feels pretty special every single time.

No chasing, no crowding — just enjoy the moment for however long they decide to stick around.

And yes, whatever you were looking at on the reef five seconds earlier has probably been completely forgotten. 😂

Nervous about getting back in the water? You’re definitely not the only one. 🤿

Maybe it’s been a while since your last dive. Maybe you had a bad experience in the past. Or maybe you’re qualified but have never quite reached the point where diving feels completely comfortable.

There’s no prize for being the first person off the boat.

Taking a little longer, asking questions, descending slowly or spending some extra time getting comfortable with your equipment is absolutely fine.

Small groups mean there’s time to go at the pace you need — because diving is supposed to be something you enjoy, not something you have to get through.

A little patience can make a very big difference underwater. 🐠

Well… hello there. 👀

We’re used to seeing moray eels tucked into holes in the reef with just their heads showing.

Seeing one out swimming is a completely different experience.

Seeing one swimming directly towards the camera is another matter entirely. 😂

Despite their slightly intimidating reputation, morays aren’t out hunting divers — sometimes you’re simply in the direction they’ve decided to go.

Did I calmly hold my position and get the perfect close-up?

Absolutely not. I moved. 😂

Would you have stayed put?

Sometimes you don’t need a shark, turtle or dolphin to make a great dive. 🪸🐠

The reefs themselves are one of the best reasons to dive the Red Sea.

Hard and soft corals, clouds of reef fish, tiny creatures hiding between the branches and something different to look at every few metres — there’s a lot going on when you slow down and actually look.

And while the big encounters might be the ones everyone talks about afterwards, a beautiful reef can make the whole dive.

What do you prefer — searching the reef for the small stuff or keeping one eye on the blue for something big? 👀

Ever wondered why these little guys move around like they’ve rehearsed it? 😂

Juvenile striped eel catfish form tightly packed schools, moving together almost like one single animal.

There’s a good reason for it. Staying together provides protection while they search across the reef and sandy bottom for food — and watching the whole group change direction at exactly the same time is strangely hypnotic.

Definitely one of those Red Sea encounters that deserves a few minutes of just stopping and watching.

Could you watch these all day? 👀

Some dive buddies are always a welcome sight. 🐢

Green sea turtles are regular residents of the Red Sea, but spotting one cruising past on a dive never gets old — whether it’s your first encounter or your hundredth.

They can look incredibly relaxed underwater, effortlessly gliding over the reef while the rest of us are busy checking our buoyancy, air and where our buddy has disappeared to. 😂

As always, we give them plenty of space and let them decide how close the encounter gets.

Does anyone ever get bored of seeing turtles? We certainly don’t.

More bottom time, less waiting around between dives 👌

Nitrox contains a higher percentage of oxygen and less nitrogen than normal air, which can give you longer no-decompression limits — particularly useful when you’re doing repetitive dives over several days.

The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course is also one of the easiest specialties to add to your diving qualifications.

You’ll learn how to:
🤿 Understand the benefits and considerations of diving with Nitrox
🧪 Analyse your cylinder before diving
📊 Set the correct oxygen percentage on your dive computer
⚠️ Understand oxygen exposure and maximum operating depths

It can be completed as a dry course or combined with two dives in the Red Sea.

Already thinking about your next dive trip? This is one certification you’ll be glad to have in your logbook.

01/09/2026

September diving has started with something a little special 👀

This is a slender ghost pipefish — not one of the species we come across particularly often in the Red Sea, and very easy to swim straight past if you’re not looking closely.

Ghost pipefish are masters of camouflage, usually hanging around corals and other reef life where their shape and colouring help them blend into the background.

Sometimes the best finds underwater aren’t the biggest ones. 🐠

Would you have spotted this one?
