The Red Sea in Egypt holds a lot of nice views, above and below! In this over/under shot, I love that you can see how the water gives a different view. Check out the pink coral on the left, above and below water.

I really love clownfish, especcially when they are in a nice-coloured anemone. Did you know that clownfish co-exist with the anomone? Other predators get stung by the anemone, except for the clownfish, they in turn, keep the anemone clean!
