El Tur

We arrived at El Tur yesterday afternoon. El Tur is a popular windsurfing and kite boarding destination. Unfortunately for the tourists here, there was almost no wind yesterday, maybe today will be more interesting.
I have not been able to do as much diving as I had hoped, but I did make a couple of dives in Port Ghalib with a local dive shop. The water here is a little chilly this time of year, 72-73 degrees F.  Brrrr! Yes, I  am a wimp when it comes to getting cold.  :)
Tomorrow the plan is to try to make up a little time and head for Port Suez. We'll see how well the wind cooperates.

The following pictures are from my dives in Port Ghalib.
