2nd dive at the same spot as check dive due to bad weather.
Now I took Canon 7D, configured with only one strobe, Sigma 17-70mm lens.
Tomi also took camera.
Now went to see coral bommies more towards west and then west insde of the reef, then back to boat.
Saw 3 turles, but otherwise not much life, very few fish.
Some spots of sun, so saw a little bit of colour, but generally quite grey and not great viz.
Quite a boring although simple and relaxing dive.
Bubbles still coming from regulator, apparently it is the SPG hose connector boot that is leaking, and the hose would need to be changed.
After dive started sailing south with intention to go at St. Johns reef area.
During dinner it was announced that Egyptian Navy does not permit going furhter south from St. Johns due to some military maneuvers.
Weather is predicted to become a bit nicer.
