Spent two dives with him among the Turtles and sea grass last week It is a much quieter bay and he seems to be most active in the afternoons Dont worry, Dennis is alive and well munching on the sea grass in Marsa Shoona bay now.

I didn't know that about manatees. Funny you mention them, actually, because they came up in a comment on my friend Liv's blog the other day. You can read that post <a href="http://ieatmypigeon.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/photo-essay-this-is-bumblefork/" rel="nofollow">here</a> if you want. Thanks for the comment, Abu!

I love the Dugong being one of a suite of large, long-lived marine vertebrates, inclusing turtles and inshore cetaceans, which are under pressure from human activities. Dugong conservation is vital and represents an opportunity - and responsibility - to contribute significantly to the conservation of ocean biodiversity. A very social animal, the Dugong is usually found in family groups of three to six animals. Larger groups were more common when the animal was more plentiful however. The dugong is the only strictly-marine herbivorous Mammal , as all species of Manatee utilize fresh water to some degree. Nice article Nick and very well written.

Yeah, I'd love to know what happened to him. Did you ever find him? I couldn't believe how gentle he was, and how intelligent he seemed. Of course I'm romanticising the encounter, but I defy anyone not to! Dennis the dugong?! Yeah, I’d love to know what happened to him. Did you ever find him?

There's a politically incorrect joke going on about his disappearance. They say the Bedouins ate him. :) I see you’ve met Dennis :) Do you know how many dives I did just looking for him?
