A bit off topic but this is interesting.
Went diving in Dubai, part of the time i was trying to find wrecks, swimming around at 25 m in 2 m of viz in a knot of current, one buddy team at the centre the other swimming out on a reel in ever enlarging circles, fun in a perverse way, just for the challenge. there is no diving there at all really, so nothing is really known. we found one of the three wrecks, not that spectacular a wreck but i have never seen so many fish. It was like a piranha film, snappers swarming around this thing wriggling to get into any hole to get away from us. also saw loads of species i've not seen in over 10yrs, stuff you don't get in the caribbean, emperor angle, lion fish, clown fish, so that was well cool.
Viz is really low, only in the summer, and the water temp was 33 C??!!! not much coral for those two reasons, but Chantal was telling me those species suffer and survive the most extreme temps of any, anywhere, so they are of particular interest.
posted on behalf of PelagicVeggie thanks for that.
