The viz wasn\u2019t wonderful but it was still much better than two weeks ago and although the dhow isn\u2019t large it has lots of fish. The baby barracuda seem to have left home but the big ones are still much in evidence. There was also the usual abundance of fusiliers and jacks and also a couple of electric rays, one of which only had one eye (sounds like part of a playground joke!)<br \/> In some ways the most amazing thing was the surface visibility. From 25km out from Sharjah we could see Palm Jumeirah, the Atlantis and Burj Al Arab. The Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman skylines were very clear and Hamriyah and the RAK mountains could be just about seen to the north. I can\u2019t remember seeing all this from that distance before.<br \/> Nor can I remember very much of New Year\u2019s Day but that\u2019s another story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>31 December We managed to get a dive away on New Year\u2019s Eve \u2013 the last of 2010.
