We started off the day at the underwater observatory, learning about the different fish and coral found in the Red Sea. Then, we saw the shark feeding. It was very interesting to watch. The person feeding the sharks actually went in with the sharks as opposed to just dropping the food in the water. My favourite part of the observatory was seeing the sting rays and turtles interact together in the same living space.After the observatory, we went to the marine university, where we meet with a professor specializing in marine life. Luckily, we had the opportunity to see plankton both alive and dead. Since the plankton is so minute, microscopes were necessary to look at them. The professor spoke to us about ocean currents, coral reefs, and other marine life, which was all very intriguing. We ate lunch outside on the university campus, then walked to the nature reserve. At the nature reserve we went snorkeling and saw beautiful fish and corals. The day ended off with some matkot (beach tennis) on the beach.
